| Popis: | The systematic studies are carried out on liquid crystalline N-(p-n-heptyloxybenzylidene)-p-n-pentyloxy aniline (7O.O5) pure compound and with dispersion of ZnO nanoparticles in 1 wt% respectively. The phase transition studies of the pure and LC nanocomposite are carried out using Polarizing Optical Microscope (POM) attached with hot stage along with digital camera and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is used to measure enthalpy and transition temperature values. Further the presence of ZnO nano particles in 7O.O5 is determined by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis. It is identified that due to dispersion of nano particles SmG phase is Quenched and nematic thermal range is increased. To enhance the captured textural images, an algorithm that uses tuned intensification operators have been proposed in this article. Statistical parameters for enhanced output images are calculated and compared with existing algorithms such as Adaptive Gamma Correction (AGC) and Discrete Wavelet Transform – Singular Value Decomposition (DWT-SVD) to understand the effectiveness of proposed algorithm. Further, optical parameters have been computed to understand the thermo optical nature of liquid crystalline compounds. |
