Article Description

The behavior of a nematic liquid crystal (LC) and its composite with CdSe/CdS quantum dots in a microfluidic channel was studied. It is shown that the mesophase molecules can be aligned both along the microchannel axis and perpendicularly to it depending on the LC flow rate. A correlation between the average flow rate in the microchannel and aggregation of quantum dots in the composite is found, as well as the influence of the change in the average flow rate on these effects is revealed. The transition between aligned and nonaligned states is found to occur in a narrow range of flow rates of ca. 50–100 µm s. The revealed behavior of the studied systems makes it possible to control properties of the liquid crystal—quantum dot composites in microfluidic lab-on-a-chip devices.
