Nanowalled polymer microtubes fabricated by using strained semiconductor templates

Abstract

Herein we describe the realization of nanowalled polymeric microtubes through a novel andversatile approach combining the layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition technique, the self-rolling ofhybrid polymer/semiconductor microtubes and the subsequent removal of the semiconductortemplate. The realized channels were characterized in detail using scanning electron and atomicforce microscopes. Additionally, we report on the incorporation of a dye molecule within thenanowalls of such microtubes, demonstrating a distribution of the fluorescence signalthroughout the whole channel volume. This approach offers the possibility to tailor theproperties of micro/nanotubes in terms of size, wall thickness and composition, thus enablingtheir employment for several applications.
