  • Descrição: Nanorod polymer composites allow the self-assembly of nanorods into hierarchical structures with unique macroscopic properties that emerge from their nanoscale order. The inclusion of nanorods can impart inorganic characteristics, such as stiffness and conductivity, and the polymer can both template nanorod organization and provide organic characteristics, such as flexibility and processability. In particular, supramolecular structures can be self-assembled where the nanorods are corralled into percolating networks. These continuous structures of inorganic nanorods can impart, for example, superior electrical or mechanical properties to the nanocomposite material. Furthermore, our choices of the nanorod and polymer constituents, and the processing history of the material, can allow us to tailor the morphology of these nanorod polymer composites to optimize material performance.
