Abstract
The quasi- 1D polyaniline nanotube (PANINT) arrays have been fabricated by a very simple method of “template dipping” based on highly ordered porous anodic alumina (PAA) membrane. It was known that the nanotubes were hollow and the outer diameters were about 230nm which was similar to the channel size of the template by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The PANINT arrays were ordered, they have an uniform diameter, and paralleled each other. It has been indicated that the macromolecule chains remain the structures of which was in the solution by the UV- Vis spectra..
