Abstract

Nanoparticles dispersed in liquid crystals can change the concentration of mobile ions through the adsorption/desorption process. In the majority of the reported cases, the effects of nanoparticles on the electrical properties of liquid crystals are analysed, neglecting the interactions of ions with substrates. In this paper, the combined effect of nanoparticles and substrates on the concentration of ions in liquid crystals is discussed. Depending on the ionic purity of substrates and nanoparticles, the ion capturing/ion releasing regimes can be achieved. In addition, the concentration of mobile ions in liquid crystal nanocolloids also depends on the cell thickness.
