ABSTRACT

In the present work, the graphene oxide/blue phase liquid crystal composites and long aminoalkyl chains functionalized graphene/blue phase liquid crystal composites were prepared by doping the additives into a blue phase exhibiting liquid crystal host. It is found that the blue phase temperature range could be widened by dispersing a small amount of functionalized graphene. It suggests that anisotropic two-dimensional flake nanoparticles may be of great usefulness for stabilizing blue phases.
