Abstract
The nano-sized oligomer crystallites serve as starting templates for the nucleation of PANI nanotubes. Further growth of nanotubes proceeds by the self-organization of the phenazine units or their blocks located at the ends of the PANI chains. Polyaniline nanotubes have a typical outer diameter of 100-200Â nm, with a wall thickness of 50-100Â nm, an inner diameter of 0-100Â nm, and a length extending to several micrometres.
