Surfactant Used to Create “Inert” Templates for Formation of Unique Nanotubes nanotubes nanotechnology nano nanotech surfactants
The scientists showed that heat treatment could eliminate the surfactant to expose clean nanoscale templates. Then, chemical vapor deposition could form coaxial nanotubes on the template using a variety of materials. The capability of coating nanotubes onto “inert” insulating structures provides researchers unparalleled access to the unique features of new nanotube materials.
Currently, a team guided by Assistant Professor Yusuke Nakanishi, Associate Professor Yasumitsu Miyata, and Assistant Professor Yohei Yomogida from Tokyo Metropolitan University has utilized insulating boron nitride nanotubes instead as templates for forming nanotubes. A variety of materials could be coated onto the templates with the help of chemical vapor deposition. The new tube wraps around the primary BN tubes, creating something that resembles a nanoscale coaxial cable.
