We report on the development of a dilute suspension of ferroelectric particles in a nematic liquid-crystal (LC) host. We found that the submicron particles do not disturb the LC alignment and the suspension macroscopically appears similar to a pure LC with no readily apparent evidence of dissolved particles. The suspension possesses enhanced dielectric anisotropy, and is sensitive to the sign of an applied electric field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
