Figure 5

The variation in the measured DC conductivity values as a function of temperature for 1% triphenylene-gold nanoparticles (TP-GNPs) mixed with hexaheptyloxy-TP (H7TP) and neat H7TP. The conductivities shown were obtained while cooling from the isotropic phase. The vertical lines denote the phase transition temperatures obtained from the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies.44
