The transient electric birefringence of nanomaterials: alignment mechanism, characterization, and its application towards aligned polymer nanocomposites

Creator:

Teters, Chad N.

Abstract:

The experimental and theoretical bases of transient electric birefringence (TEB) and its application in a variety of nanomaterials, including Na-montmorillonite, cellulose nanocrystals (CNXL), and CdSe quantum dots (QDs) will be presented. TEB is a phenomenon attributed to the alignment of particles in response to an applied electric field and has...
