Abstract

A pressure-filter-template approach was employed to prepare fluorescent nanotubes of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylicdianhydride (PTCDA) through covalent combination in the porous of alumina template based on the layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly technique. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images exhibited a tubular structure of the obtained samples. The wall thickness of the nanotubes is well controlled by varying the assembled cycle number, which is detected by UV−visible spectroscopy. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy confirmed the formation of covalent bonds between PEI and PTCDA in nanotubes.
