In this paper, the mechanisms of interaction between CNTs, GO and epoxydian resin macromolecules were discussed based on the results of molecular dynamics simulations. Calculations were performed in the MM3 force field at exposure times up to 100 ps. The influence of the CNT’s graphene layers shape and the presence of oxygen-containing functional groups on the self-assembly process during the epoxy composite formation has been demonstrated. It is shown that graphene oxide sheets are arranged around cylindrical nanotubes and envelop them, while when using tapered nanotubes, the formation of alternating layers of CNTs and GO should be expected. The presence of oxygen-containing groups on the surface of cylindrical nanotubes promotes the penetration of epoxydian resin macromolecules into the space between CNTs and GO.

The possibility to use this compound as a matrix for ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) mixtures is evaluated. Two mixtures have been prepared: one (FLC-691-F) is based on new fluorinated compound and another (FLC-691) on its non-fluorinated analogue. The diester of optically active 2-octanol and terphenyldicarboxylic acid was used as a chiral dopant for both mixtures. Investigation of these FLC mixtures parameters: phase transition temperatures, helix pitch, spontaneous polarization and tilt angle show significant influence of fluorine atom. When comparing the phase sequence of FLC-691 and FLC-691-F mixtures, one can note that in the fluorine containing mixture an additional smectic A phase arises. At the same temperatures, the helix pitch of FLC-691-F is 2 – 2.5 times less than the helix pitch of FLC-691. The tilt angle of FLC-691-F is much smaller than that of FLC-691 but its value approaches the optimal value of 22.5 degrees, which ensures maximum light transmittance of electro-optical cells. At the same time the presence of fluorine atom in the matrix is a reason for the decrease of the mixture spontaneous polarization and a significant decrease (almost 4 times) in the driving voltage of electro-optical light shutters. As a result, it was shown that the fluorinated matrix provides new possibilities for controlling the mixture parameters.","PeriodicalId":18138,"journal":{"name":"Liquid Crystals and their Application","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43218715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mesomorphism of these compounds was known from the literature data. Modeling and optimization of 101 structures were carried out and data on the prediction of columnar mesomorphism were obtained using the “CMP ChemCard” software product.
