Scanning
electron micrographs of silica nano test tubes corked with the anion-aldehyde
nanoparticles. A. Membrane surface after corking
and extensive washing to remove non-covalently bound nanoparticles.
B. Liberated corked nano test tubes obtained by dissolving
the alumina template in 5% H3PO4. C. Higher magnification
image of the liberated assemblies. The scale bar represents 500
nm in all cases. |
