(color online) The phase diagram for the symmetric diblock copolymer–homopolymer hybrid system and a NR mixture with different NR lengths L and numbers Ns. Graphic symbols correspond to the morphologies. The phase diagram shows that the nanorods infiltrate the A components. The red regions are A domains, the blue regions are B domains, and the green regions are C domains.
