Abstract

Poly (β-cyclodextrin)-stabilized zirconia/silver (PβCyD-ZrO2/Ag) nanoparticles were prepared from colloidal dispersions of PβCyD-ZrO2 nanoparticles. Particles of PβCyD-ZrO2 /Ag(molar ratio of ZrO2 /Ag = 0.8/0.2) nanoparticles have an average diameter of 4.5 nm. The nanoparticles were dispersed in 4’-pentyl-4-cyanobiphenyl to construct liquid crystal displays. The response time of this display in the presence of PβCyD-ZrO2 /Ag nanoparticles was faster than that in the absence of nanoparticles.
