| Research Abstract |
In the present study, we focused on introduction of thermotropic liquid-crystallinity into rod-type gold nanoparticles and disk-type iron oxide nanoparticles by the hybridization of organic liquid crystal molecules. In the case of gold nanorod, we have investigated that hybridization of the nanorods with thiol-substituted triphenylene molecules. On the other hand, we have prepared iron-oxide magnetic nanoparticles by the thermal decomposition method in the presence of organic liquid crystals with a carboxylic acid moiety.
