Template Synthesis of Organic Microtubules

Abstract

We describe in this report an elegant method for the synthesis of organic microtubules. This new method is based on the use of microporous membrane as a template during tubule synthesis. This template method produces tubules with monodisperse lengths and diameters, and length, diameter, and wall thickness can be varied at will. This type of precise control over tubule geometry is not possible with the existing synthetic method. The tubules obtained are composed of chemically and mechanically robust heterocyclic polymers.
