Abstract

A ferronematic liquid crystal (FNLC) system containing 8CB (4-cyano-4'-[n-octylbiphenyl]) and magnetite particles was prepared by using the two steps method. The magnetite particles were dispersed in the organic (liquid crystalline) media by using toluene. However, the toluene affected the thermotropic and structural behaviour of the pure basic (8CB) substance, drastically. The product was stable as no any sedimentation and coagulation has been observed during several weeks after the preparation. However, the distribution of magnetite particles was found not to be homogeneous in the nm size range.
