Decrease in negative dielectric anisotropy and electric conductivity of 4-methoxybenzylidene-4'-butylaniline doped with fullerenes C₆₀

Tunable, Low–Cost, Multi–Channel, Broadband Liquid Crystal Shutter for Fluorescence Imaging in Widefield Microscopy

“…The NLC (N-(4-Methoxybenzylidene)-4-butylaniline) was purchased from MilliporeSigma (MilliporeSigma, Burlington, MA, USA) and used without further mixing. The operating temperature of the NLC is usually ranged between 21 • C and 47 • C [28], the birefringence (∆n) and viscosity coefficient at room temperature are 0.15 [29] and 0.21 Pa•s [30], respectively. The NLC was over-dripped on the bottom panel, and the excess NLC was squeezed out by the extrusion of the upper panel to avoid air bubbles.…”
