Abstract
We focus on thin films from ZnO nanorod dispersions in order to generate a high lateral order and a dense space filling structure applicable e. g. in printed optoelectronic devices. Highly stable dispersions with a solid content of up to 60wt.% in ethanol were prepared using trioxadecanoic acid as stabilizer. With the dispersions we prepared thin films on substrates with a 3D-smectic phase in lateral dimension of cm2 and thicknesses from below 100nm up to 1μm. We show how the concentration of the initial solid content is influencing the formation of domains in our films and discuss the self-assembly process into ordered structures.
