Research Highlights IRG-2. Formation of Polymeric Nanotubes
| |
In a human body, phospholipids form all kinds of different membranes and
self-arrange into different objects. Some form unstable tubes.
Such tubes in water may serve as templates for making nanotubes which may
store drugs or other chemicals, or may suck up other species.
Such templates were used for redox-initiated polymerization to form
nanotubes
Using this approach, polymer nanotubes can be prepared from many monomers
