Phys.The memory effects in deformed helix ferroelectric liquid crystal and high switchable electroclinic liquid crystal materials are being studied by doping nanoparticles in the liquid crystal materials. The dynamics of memory effect and electro-optical characteristics are being carried out by polarizing optical microscope and dielectric relaxation spectroscopy.
Secondly, the detection of cardiac proteins such as -cardiac reactive protein (-CRP), Mioglobin and Tropinion proteins are also being studied by electro-chemical and fluorescence microscopic techniques. Microfluidic techniques would be used for the cardiac markers.
