Template Synthesis of Graphitic Nanotubules.

Abstract

We describe a method for preparing monodisperse graphitic nanotubules. These are prepared by synthesizing polyacrylonitrile (PAN) from the monomer, within the pores of a porous alumina template membrane. Because the membrane used has cylindrical pores of uniform diameter, monodisperse PAN tubules are obtained. The PAN tubules are then heated to affect graphitization of the PAN. jg p.2
