Nanomaterials consisting of semiconductors and noble metals are well known to exhibit characteristic properties different from bulk materials. Especially anisotropic materials have attracted great attention due to their anisotropic properties such has polarized optical properties, electron conductivity, heat transportation, and so on. It is indispensable to regulate the alignment of nanomaterials in order to develop functional devices by taking advantage of their fascinating properties. In this paper, the regulated alignment of semiconductor nanorods hybridized with nematic liquid-crystalline polymers will be presented as an example to control the alignment of anisotropic nanomaterials.
