Abstract
Chemical and electrochemical techniques were used for generating ensembles of randomly distributed organic and metal nanocylinders into the pores of nuclear track-etched polycarbonate membranes. This so-called “template method” makes it possible to synthesize a variety of materials including metals, ferromagnets, superconductors, semimetals, and conducting polymer and structures such as solid wires, tubules, composite nanostructures, and multilayers. Numerous interesting properties have been identified in relation to the nanoscopic dimensions of the materials.
