Abstract
In this experimental work, electro-optical properties of Al2O3 nanoparticles doped 5CB liquid crystal was investigated. Therefore, Alumina nano powder was synthesized using precipitation method then homogenously oriented samples with different percentage of nanoparticles prepared and birefringence and threshold voltage of them were measured. Also, rise and relaxation time of samples were studied.
It was seen that birefringence of samples with 0.1 and 0.3 percent nanoparticles considerably increase respect to undoped liquid crystal.
