Colloidal Interactions and Novel Colloidal Structures in Thin Nematic Layers
The thesis presents experimental studies of colloidal interactions and novel colloidal structures in confined nematic liquid crystal using optical tweezers. Liquid crystal colloids are a novel class of composite materials with well-controlled periodic structures in the nanometer and micrometer ranges. Moreover, they also posses novel mechanical, optical and rheological properties, …
Self-assembly properties of Mo6S9-xIx nanowires with different (bio)materials
This thesis presents a study of different nanoscale functional properties of Mo6S9-XIx nanowires and demonstrates a straight-forward functionalization route based on self-assembly. In order to ascertain their basic functional properties, studies of dispersion and electromobility under different conditions were performed. It was found that the nanowire bundles, due to their …
