The study on determination interactions between liquid crystals and nanoparticle: Fluorescence spectra of nanoparticle-doped liquid crystals
Öz
Liquid crystals, which are between the solid state of matter and the liquid state, are materials with interesting molecular structures. They are molecular materials that show both the properties of solid crystals and the properties of liquids. Materials whose physical properties change depending on the particle size, whose dimensions are at the nanometer level, are nanoparticles. Nanoparticles can be produced in many different types, depending on their size and structural shape. We obtained fluorescence graphs by combining liquid crystals and nanoparticles in solvents with three different characteristics. The liquid crystals we used in this study are 4-Pentylphenyl 4-Methoxybenzoate (4PP4MetoxB), 4-Pentylphenyl 4-Pentylbenzote (4PP4PentB), and 4-Pentylphenyl 4-(Octyloxy)Benzoate (4PP4OctoxB). Other materials we use are ZnS, CdSe, and CdS nanoparticles. We created new materials by combining these liquid crystals and nanoparticles in solvents. We examined whether the liquid crystals and nanoparticles in the newly formed materials interact in solvents and how the fluorescence graphs change according to the fluorescence graphs of liquid crystals.
