A STEP-and-GROW Technique – An Economic and Environmentally Safe Manufacturing Approach for Fabricating Ordered Nano Structures

Abstract

A new variant of our “grow-in-place” methodology termed “step-and-grow” is used to produce polyaniline nanowires. Three different widths (5μm, 1μm, and 0.5μm) of nanowires were grown for this demonstration. These “step-and-grow” polyaniline nanowires showed conductivities of ~10 S/cm.
