The enhanced flexoelastic ratio of mesogenic dopants (MDs)-doped nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) is studied. The flexoelastic ratio increased up to 139 % than pure nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) after doping MD. The mechanism of the enhanced flexoelastic ratio is presumably related to the large dipole moment of MDs.
