The template method for preparing nanomaterials entails synthesis of monodisperse tubular and fibrillar nanostructures within the pores of a membrane or other nanoporous solid. Nanostructured materials of this type constitute one of the most important frontiers in materials science, and composite nanomaterials have been of particular recent interest. While the template method has been used to prepare segmented nanowires, where different segments down the length of the wire are composed of different materials, the chemically more challenging concept of synthesizing concentric tubular composites has never been reported. Synthetic strategies for preparing such concentric tubular composite structures are described here. 27 refs., 5 figs.
