Journal ArticleDOI
Liquid crystal-carbon nanotubes mixtures
V. Popa-Nita,Samo Kralj +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents the theoretical results obtained for strong enough anchoring at the CNT-LC interface for which the nematic ordering around nanotube is apparently distorted and finds that the degree of ordering of the nanorods can be tuned by raising or lowering the temperature or by increasing or decreasing their concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical and experimental study of the nanoparticle-driven blue phase stabilisation
Brigita Rožič,Vasileios Tzitzios,Eva Karatairi,Uroš Tkalec,George Nounesis,Zdravko Kutnjak,G. Cordoyiannis,Riccardo Rosso,Epifanio G. Virga,Igor Muševič,Samo Kralj +10 more
TL;DR: These calculations suggest that the DCR mechanism is efficient if a local NP environment resembles the core structure of disclinations, which represent the characteristic property of BP structures, in line with high-resolution ac calorimetry and optical polarising microscopy experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustainable preparation of gold nanoparticles via green chemistry approach for biogenic applications
Asiya Si,Kaushik Pal,Kaushik Pal,Samo Kralj,Gharieb S. El-Sayyad,F.G. de Souza,Thinakaran Narayanan +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a critical review of gold-nanoparticles was conducted against antimicrobial strains and degradation of gold nanoparticles products well explored-from selection precursors evolved from natural extracts, as well as eventually disintegration into bio-degradable yet potentially recyclable byproducts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Graphene-assembly liquid crystalline and nanopolymer hybridization: A review on switchable device implementations.
Kaushik Pal,Kaushik Pal,Alaa A. A. Aljabali,Samo Kralj,Samo Kralj,Sabu Thomas,Fernando G. Souza +6 more
TL;DR: Exhibited ultra thin-film nanocomposite based smart switchable devices are promising candidates for diverse applications in the field of stretchable electronics, energy storage, photodetectors, high contrast displays, and optoelectronics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Saddle-splay elasticity of nematic structures confined to a cylindrical capillary
TL;DR: It is shown that it is stable in a finite interval of the external field strength in the strong anchoring regime and a new structure---the planar polar structure with two line defects---is predicted.
