Impact of titanium dioxide nanoparticles on purification and contamination of nematic liquid crystals

چکیده
We have investigated the impact of titanium dioxide nanoparticles on the ionic contamination of liquid crystals. Nematic liquid crystals with high and low initial ionic contamination have been examined. It has been shown that titanium dioxide nanoparticles reduced the ion density of liquid crystals with high initial ionic contamination from 134.5 × 1012 cm-3 to 63.2 × 1012 cm-3. In the case of liquid crystals with low initial ionic contamination, the nanoparticles led to an insignificant increase of ion density from 19.8 × 1012 cm-3 to 25.7 × 1012 cm-3.

Phenolic compounds, such as phenol, are found to be significant in agricultural and industrial wastewater, especially in petroleum and petrochemical industries. Since these industries make up a large share of foreign exchange earnings, we have ignored from the huge contamination of them. we produces a large amount of wastewater from these industries and dispossessed them without proper purifica...
متن کاملInvestigation into the temperature dependence of isotropic- nematic phase transition of Gay- Berne liquid crystals
Density functional approach was used to study the isotropic- nematic (I-N) transition and calculate the values of freezing parameters of the Gay- Berne liquid crystal model. New direct and pair correlation functions of a molecular fluid with Gay- Berne pair potential were used. These new functions were used in density functional theory as input to calculate the isotropic- nematic transition den...
