Anisotropic studies of multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-filled natural rubber (NR) and nitrile rubber (NBR) blends

50/50 NR/NBR blends with various MWCNT loadings were prepared by mixing with MWCNT/NR masterbatches on a two-roll mill and sheeted off at the smallest nip gap. Then, the effect of milling direction, machine direction (MD) and transverse direction (TD), on the mechanical and electrical properties of the blends was elucidated. Dichroic ratio and SEM results confirmed that most of the MWCNTs were aligned along MD when MWCNT was less than 4 phr, and the number of agglomerates increased when MWCNT was more than 4 phr. Additionally, anisotropic properties were clearly observed when 4 phr MWCNT was loaded. At 4 phr MWCNT, 100% modulus and tensile strength in the MD were about 1.5 and 1.3 times higher than those in the TD, respectively. Moreover, electrical conductivity in the MD was superior to that in the TD by about 3 orders of magnitude. Results from dynamic mechanical tests also showed that the maximum tan δ in the MD sample was lower than that in the corresponding TD sample. In addition, the storage modulus at 30 °C for the MD sample containing 4 phr MWCNT was 1.15 higher than that of the corresponding TD sample. This stronger reinforcement efficiency resulted from the combination of the greater alignment and dispersion of most MWCNTs in the MD sample.

Microwave radiative transfer intercomparison study for 3-D dichroic media

Three different numerical methods capable of solving the radiative transfer of microwave radiation within 3-D dichroic media are compared. A case study, represented by an intense rain shaft populated by perfectly oriented oblate raindrops, is analysed in detail, including a discussion of the behaviour of all four Stokes components.Results demonstrate an acceptable agreement between all Monte Carlo methods. The method based on a discrete ordinates scheme agrees only qualitatively with the Monte Carlo outputs. Because of its lower computational cost the backward Monte Carlo technique based on importance sampling represents the most efficient way to face passive microwave radiative transfer problems related to optically thick 3-D structured clouds including non-spherical preferentially oriented hydrometeors.     

Achiral Dichroic Dyes-mediated Circularly Polarized Emission Regulated by Orientational Order Parameter through Cholesteric Liquid Crystals

It is noteworthy that cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) platforms have been witnessed in high-performance circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) behaviors through the highly organized chiral co-assembled arrangement of achiral dyes. However, most CPL-active design strategies are closely relative to the helix co-assembly structure of CLC rather than achiral dyes. Herein, we developed an intriguing regulation strategy for CPL-active CLC materials. They were regulated using the orientational order parameter (S_F) of achiral dichroic dyes as an incisive probe for the order arrangement degree of achiral dyes in CLC media. The I-shaped phenothiazine derivative PHECN dye (S_F=0.30) emitted a strong CPL signal (|g_lum|=0.47). In contrast, the T-shaped derivative (PHEBen) dye (S_F=0.09) showed a weak circular polarization level (|g_lum|=0.07) at similar CLC textures. Most interestingly, this kind of dichroic PHECN dye with a higher S_F could greatly improve the contrast ratio of CPL (Δg_lum=0.47) and emission intensity (ΔFL=46.0 %) at direct-current electric field compared with the T-shaped PHEBen (Δg_lum=0.07 and ΔFL=1.0 %) in CLC. This work demonstrates that an induced CPL emission can be mediated using achiral dichroic dye, which will open a new avenue for developing excellent CPL-active display materials.     

Energy Transport in Dichroic Metallo-organic Crystals: Selective Inclusion of Spatially Resolved Arrays of Donor and Acceptor Dyes in Different Nanochannels**

In this study, the precise positioning and alignment of arrays of two different guest molecules in a crystalline host matrix has been engineered and resulted in new optically active materials. Sub-nm differences in the diameters of two types of 1D channels are sufficient for size-selective inclusion of dyes. Energy transport occurs between the arrays of different dyes that are included in parallel-positioned nanochannels by Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). The color of individual micro-sized crystals are dependent on their relative position under polarized light. This angular-dependent behavior is a result of the geometrically constrained orientation of the dyes by the crystallographic packing of the host matrix and is concentration dependent.

Guest–host systems containing anthraquinone dyes with multiple visible transitions giving positive and negative dichroic order parameters: an assessment of principal molecular axes and computational methods

ABSTRACT

Three 1,4-disubstituted anthraquinone dyes with bis(4-n-butylphenyl) substituents connected via amine or amide linking groups have been studied as guest molecules dissolved in the nematic host E7. UV-visible absorption spectroscopy has shown each of the dyes to exhibit multiple absorption bands in the visible region, and dichroic order parameters obtained from polarised spectra of aligned guest–host samples were shown to differ significantly between the bands for each dye, and between the dyes. Time-dependent density functional theory calculations indicated that each dye exhibits several transitions, giving transition dipole moment vectors with a range of orientations, and fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of the guest–host mixtures showed differences in the calculated molecular alignments of the dyes. Combining the results from these two sets of calculations enabled a comparison of molecular alignment models based on the moments of inertia and the surface tensors of the dyes. The match between calculated and experimental values was improved significantly when using the surface tensor rather than the moment of inertia model, indicating that the shapes of the molecular surfaces of these dyes are crucial to their alignment. A novel method of calculating polarised UV-visible absorption spectra of dyes in liquid crystal hosts is also presented.
