Abstract Composites were prepared by inserting Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs) in the Nematic Liquid Crystal (NLC) to fasten the reorientation dynamics of the system under the electric field. Dispersion of SWCNTs in NLC medium enhanced the orientational order and consequently the display parameters of composite systems improved. Various display parameters such as orientational order, dielectric anisotropy, threshold voltage and splay elastic constant were explored for pure and composite systems.

Keywords: carbon nanotubes; display parameters; orientational order
