Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes, there has been great interest in the synthesis and
characterization of other one-dimensional materials. A variety of inorganic materials have …

1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. General Overview Nanomaterials are generally classified into
nanostructured materials and nanophase or nanoparticle materials, which form a bridge …

In this contribution, we outline oxide‐assisted growth (OAG)(distinct from the conventional
metal‐catalytic vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) process) for the growth of nanostructured materials …

Silicon nanowires have been synthesized in high yield and high purity by using a high-
temperature laser-ablation method with growth rates ranging from 10 to 80 μm/h …

Carbon nanotube (CNT) dopants can improve both the strength and conductivityof
polypyrrole (PPy), as reported here. A novel electrochemical method is described for the …

This article concerns the detailed investigations on the silver dendrite‐assisted growth of
single‐crystalline silicon nanowires, and their possible self‐assembling …

The preparation of silicon nanotubes (SiNTs) using nanochannel Al2O3 as a template and a
chemical vapor deposition process is reported. The outer diameters of the SiNTs are around …

Nucleation and growth of Si nanowires by laser ablation and thermal evaporation of Si
powder sources mixed with SiO 2 have been investigated by means of transmission electron …

Research and literature on nanomaterials has exploded in volume in recent years.
Nanotubes (both of carbon and inorganic materials) can be made in a variety of ways, and …
