Popis: It is shown that adding of a small amount (0.1 wt %) of organomodified laponite (LapO) nanoplatelets results in drastic changes in dielectric and electro-optical characteristics of the suspensions of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in nematic liquid crystal E7. The addition of LapO leads to the absence of classical percolation of conductivity and dielectric constant, as well as reduction of Frederiks threshold and significant growth of contrast ratio of the E7-CNTs samples.
