Embodiment 1

[0023] step one

[0024] Preparation and surface modification of ZnS nanoparticles: surfactant Triton X-100 (TritonX-100) is added in cyclohexane; In cyclohexane, under magnetic stirring, slowly add n-butanol dropwise until the solution is clear, that is, a thioacetamide microemulsion is formed; measure zinc acetate solution equivalent to thioacetamide, and prepare zinc acetate by the above method Microemulsion. Mix the prepared thioacetamide microemulsion and zinc acetate microemulsion, stir evenly with magnetic force, control a certain reaction temperature, and react for 6 hours under the action of ultrasonic waves to obtain a light yellow emulsion. Ethanol is added to the emulsion by rotary evaporation to break the emulsion, centrifuged, washed with water and ethanol twice respectively, and dried in vacuum to obtain nanometer ZnS particles. Spherical ZnS nanoparticles with a modified surface and an average particle diameter of about 33 nm are selected for use.

Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method for a nano particle and stable blue phase liquid crystal compound material. According to the method, inorganic nano particles which have different particle diameters, and are subjected to surface modification, and of which the dipole moment is 50 to 150d, such as ZnS particles, ZnO particles, GdS particles, GdSe particles and the like are added into a blue phase liquid crystal with a wide temperature range in a certain proportion, so that the blue phase liquid crystal can be restored reversibly under the action of highfield, and meanwhile, the temperature range of the blue phase can be widened to certain extent. The nano particle and stable blue phase liquid crystal compound material is easy to prepare, and has an obvious effect, and the prepared system is high in stability and low in viscosity, and can quickly respond to an electric field.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of liquid crystal materials and displays, and relates to blue-phase liquid crystal materials and inorganic nano-materials, in particular to adding nano-particles with different particle diameters and surface modification to blue-phase liquid crystals with a wide temperature range in a certain proportion to obtain Realize the reversible recovery of the blue phase liquid crystal under the action of a strong electric field, and at the same time broaden the temperature range of the blue phase to a certain extent, so as to prepare new liquid crystal display devices and optical devices for fast display. Background technique [0002] Blue phases (Liquid crystalline Blue Phases, BPs) are macroscopically a special phase state between the isotropic state and the cholesteric phase, and often appear in high-chiral liquid crystal systems. Microscopically, the blue phase is a lattice defect phase without birefringence, and its latt...
