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 UVâvisible spectroscopy. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy confirmed the formation of covalent bonds between PEI and PTCDA in nanotubes.
