Use of track membranes as templates for synthesis of nanomaterials based on polymeric compositions

Abstract

A new approach has been developed by us for preparing of nanomaterials on the basis of polymeric compositions. This approach entails filling by polymeric compositions within the pores of the poly(ethylene terephthalate) track membranes (PET TM) with the help of an impregnation method. Depending on the variation of parameters of the template synthesis process allows obtaining of a big assortment of nanostructural materials (nanotubules and nanowires as well as nanomembranes) with a wide spectrum of characteristics. This type nanomaterials can be used for creation of electronic nanodevices. They can be also used for production of chemical sensors.
