Self‐assembled and aligned in a block! Self‐assembled CdSe nanorods within the poly(4‐vinylpyridine) nanodomains of a poly(styrene‐ b ‐4‐vinylpyridine) diblock copolymer thin film can be aligned under the influence of the polarization forces created by an applied electric field. The electron mobilities of the CdSe/poly(4‐vinylpyridine) nanodomains in the out‐of‐plane cases were about eight times larger than those in the in‐plane cases.
