Abstract

The porous template synthesis method has attracted significant interest as a versatile approach to prepare tubular nanomaterials with tailored properties. The process involves deposition or synthesis of various materials such as polymers, nanoparticles, proteins, dyes, and organic or inorganic small molecules within the porous templates, which are subsequently removed to yield free-standing nanotubes. At the same time, this approach permits the formation of composite nanotubes with the engineering features including size, shape, composition, and function. In this chapter, we summarize the synthesis and properties of various composite nanotubes based on template method combining with layer-by-layer assembly, sol—gel chemistry and polymerization. These nanotubes possess potential applications in biomedical fields such as bioseparation, biocatalysis, biosensor, and drug delivery.
