Nanomaterials have, by definition, one or more dimension in the nanometer scale (≤ 100
nm) range and subsequently show novel properties from their bulk materials. The synthesis …

Porosity can be viewed as a profound concept that helps us to understand nature and create
advanced structures. There are some interesting examples in nature, such as hollow …

The existence of materials now included among the class of conducting polymers (CP) has
long been known. The first electrochemical synthesis and their characterization as insoluble …

Polymers are usually considered thermal insulators, because the amorphous arrangement
of the molecular chains reduces the mean free path of heat-conducting phonons. The most …

Conducting polymer hydrogels (CPHs) represent a unique class of materials that synergize
the advantageous features of hydrogels and organic conductors and have been used in …

This paper presents a comprehensive review of the literature on one-dimensional (1D)
nanostructures (nanowires, nanoribbons, nanotubes, nanobelts, and nanofibers) of π …

Anodization of valve metals and alloys is a powerful tool to control nanoscale architecture for
many metal oxides. Except for aluminum, the most explored system is self-organized oxide …

Hierarchically porous polypyrrole nanowires/manganese oxides nanoflakes (MnO 2 NFs@
PPy NWs) core/shell nanostructures were successfully constructed through a simple …

Conducting polymers represent an important class of functional organic materials for next-
generation electronic and optical devices. Advances in nanotechnology allow for the …

Rapid, accurate, portable, and large-scale diagnostic technologies for the detection of
