Abstract

Nanotube-nanoparticle composites are fabricated by template-directed automatic layer-by-layer assembly with the assistance of pressure. This assembly strategy above allows the facile construction of uniform complex nanostructures with ultra-multilayers (≈200). Importantly, it takes much less time than conventional manual manipulation.

Keywords: composites; layer-by-layer assembly; layered compounds; nanoparticles; nanotubes.
