Polymer, Metal, and Hybrid Nano- and Mesotubes by Coating Degradable Polymer Template Fibers (TUFT Process)

Nanostructured Fibers via Electrospinning

“…The electrospinning set-up used here has been described previously [6,7]. Polyvinylcarbazole was purchased from Aldrich (M w = 1 100 000 g/mol, specification by the manufacturer).…”

“…[17] Occasionally branching of the jet occurs leading to a further decrease in diameter. [6,7] A given surface topology will affect, for instance, the wetting behavior as well as specific adsorption processes. Porous fibers are of interest for applications such as filtration or the preparation of functional nanotubes by fiber templates.…”

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

“…The problem is that the high refractive index of semiconductors means that most of the light generated in an LED is totally internally reflected and confined in waveguide modes leading to a loss of useful light. Very recently microspheres and microlenses have been integrated into organic LEDs [15,16] allowing recovery of light waveguided in the substrate, but not light waveguided in the organic layer. [4,8,9] A further problem is that light incident at close to the critical angle will be strongly reflected back into the device.…”

Conductive Core–Sheath Nanofibers and Their Potential Application in Neural Tissue Engineering

“…The fabrication technique developed in the present work for producing conductive core-sheath nanofibers also offers a major advantage over previously demonstrated methods in that it can be conducted in aqueous solution under ambient conditions. [21–26] From the perspective of biomedical applications such as tissue engineering, such mild operation conditions represent a very attractive attribute.…”
