heal.abstractZnO nanorod polymer hybrids (i.e., ZnO nanorods coated with a block copolymer with a short anchor block (dopamine) and a longer solubilizing block of polystyrene (PS)) form liquid crystalline (LC) phases if they are dispersed at high concentration e.g., in a PS oligomer matrix. Due to the high mobility of the low T(g)-matrix the nanorod polymer hybrids show a switching behavior under an applied AC electric field. Hence, the orientation of the nanorod mesogens can be changed from planar (parallel to the substrate) to homeotropic (perpendicular) in full analogy to the switching of low molecular liquid crystals in an electric field. Dielectric measurements show that such a switching is mainly due to the cooperative LC behavior, because the rods themselves exhibit only a very small effective dipole moment. The process can be investigated by polarizing microscopy. SEM images show the orientations of the individual nanorods, which correspond to the Fredericks transition well known for liquid crystals aligned in an electric field. This was the first time such a transition could be visualized by electron microscopy due to the large nanorod mesogens. The observation is interesting to orient nanorods perpendicular to an electrode and can help to improve optoelectronic devices.en
