Template Synthesis and Magnetic Behavior of an Array of Cobalt Nanowires Encapsulated in Polyaniline Nanotubules

Metallic nanowires protected from oxidation and corrosion by a sheath of polyaniline have been prepared in arrays on an alumina membrane support. The cobalt wire/polyaniline tubule nanocomposite structures (see Figure), which are produced by using the polyaniline tubules as a template for the growth...

Description
Summary:Metallic nanowires protected from oxidation and corrosion by a sheath of polyaniline have been prepared in arrays on an alumina membrane support. The cobalt wire/polyaniline tubule nanocomposite structures (see Figure), which are produced by using the polyaniline tubules as a template for the growth of the metal wires, have potential in applications such as magnetic antenna materials.
