Abstract

In this work, the nematic liquid crystal (LC) N-(4′-methoxybenzylidene)-4-n-butylaniline (MBBA) was prepared and doped with different concentrations (0.025, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, and 0.1 wt.%) of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) at room temperature to study the electric properties of (LC–CNTs) cell. The experimental results showed that capacitance of (LC–CNTs) cell became higher than that of pure LC cell. The dielectric permittivity is ...
