Prepared in this work are dispersions of nematic liquid crystal in polyvinyl alcohol with sizes of liquid phase inclusions less than one micrometer (nano-polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC)) by changing technology of mixing the components. It was shown that, like to the case of earlier examined dispersions with the droplet sizes 6 to 10 μm (micro-PDLC), the conductivity of nano-PDLC has two components: the ion one, which value does not depend on frequency, and the electron one, the value of which depends on frequency according to a power law. It was found that the ion conductivity of nano-PDLC is three orders of magnitude higher than that for micro-PDLC, and the exponent for the electron components of nano-PDLC conductivity is less than that for micro-PDLC. It was shown that the spherical and rod-like magnetic nanoparticles (MNs) influence in a different manner on the conductivity components of nano-PDLC. If for the maximum concentration of spherical MNs 2 * 10⁻³ wt.% the ion conductivity is 2-fold increased, then at the same concentration of rod-like MNs the ion conductivity value increases by more than one order of magnitude
