Orient and conduct: Triphenylene-based discotic ionic liquid crystals (ILCs) with six imidazolium ion pendants can disperse pristine single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). When the ILC is columnarly assembled, doping with SWNTs results in macroscopic homeotropic columnar orientation. Combination of shear and annealing treatments gives rise to three different orientation states, which determine the anisotropy of electrical conduction.
具有六个咪唑离子侧链的三联苯基盘状离子液晶（ILC）可以分散原始的单壁碳纳米管（SWNTs）。当 ILC 柱组装时，掺杂 SWNTs 会导致宏观向列柱状取向。剪切和退火处理的组合产生了三种不同的取向状态，这决定了电导率的各向异性。
