Abstract
Synthesis and characterization are carried on 70µl citrate capped gold nanoparticles dispersed
in N-(p-n-nonyloxy benzoic acid Liquid Crystalline compounds (LC). Further homomorphic filtering
(HF) technique is used to reduce the multiplicative noise in the image. This technique provides frequency
domain procedure to improve the appearance of an image by gray level range compression and contrast
enhancement. Polarizing microscope connected with hot stage and camera is used to capture the textures
of the compounds. The compound with dispersion of 70 µl exhibits same NC phases as compared with
the pure 9OBA with reduced clearing temperature as expected and nematic thermal ranges are increased
while performing DSC and POM.
