Abstract:
We report for the first time the observation of self-assembled nanotubular structures from n-dodecylamine-TEOS-water-ACN mixtures; the presence of these nanotubular domains was found to be strongly influenced by the generation of in situ metal nanoparticles and the presence of halide anions.
