Irregular dielectric response of the ferroelectric liquid crystals doped with the single-wall carbon nanotubes

This is the first time when the authors present the research results of the dielectric qualities of the ferroelectric liquid crystals (FLC) doped with the chiral single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCN). They show that injection even of the small amounts of the nanotubes (0, 01 %) leads to the considerable decrease of the real and imaginary electric permittivity. The effect can be explained by capture of the doped ions by the delocalized π electrons and the decrease both the LC induces polarization and electric conductivity caused by this effect.
