(color online) (a) Morphology of the self-assembled pure AB diblock copolymer–C homopolymer hybrid system without the nanorods. The red regions are A domains, the blue regions are B domains and the green regions are C domains. (b). Morphology of the self-assembled pure nanorods, with Ns = 340, L = 13, and AB:C = 70:30.
