Electrochemical fabrication and characterization of poly(o-phenylenediamine)nanotubes by template method

摘要

The fabrication of conducting poly(o-phenylenediamine)nanotube by electropolymerisation on alumina wafers(Whatman Anodisc 47 filter disk)is described.The nanotubes have been characterized by FTIR,UV-vis,SEM,TEM and AFM studies.SEM and TEM results reveal that the polymer nanotubes have uniform and well-aligned arrays and their diameter and length match with the aspect ratios of the anodisc aluminium oxide(AAO)membrane.
