Electrical conductivity of “liquid crystal – Cu6PS5I superionic nanoparticles” composites

摘要

One of the promising methods to extend the liquid crystal (LC) functionality is introduction of the nanoparticles. Thus, nanoparticles of superionic conductors with argyrodyte structure, in particular Cu6PS5I, can help to extend functional properties of LC. They are characterized by high electrical conductivity as well as ferroelastic and nonlinear optical properties. Therefore, the aim of this work was to study the influence of Cu6PS5I nanoparticles on the electrical conductivity of 6СВ and 6СНВТ liquid crystals.
