    Abstract: Preparing well-ordered nanotubes on materials surface is a great of interest in many applications. Bio-inspired and theoretical approaches show that porous structures such as nanotubes are key parameters for both surface hydrophobicity and water adhesion. Here, a very easy soft-template electropolymerization approach is used to form nanotubular str... Show More

    Abstract: Ionic solids, ceramics and most polymers and plastics are insulators, they do not conduct electrical current. Plastics are materials that can be formed into various shapes by the application of pressure or heat. Plastics are classified into thermosetting plastics, thermoplastic material, or an elastomer. A thermosetting plastic cannot be reshaped r... Show More
