我们已经进行了系统的调查乙醇的影响，在聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯薄膜的轨道蚀刻技术产生的锥形孔的形状。我们已经发现，所产生的锥形纳米孔的锥角取决于碱性蚀刻溶液中存在的乙醇的量。通过改变蚀刻溶液中乙醇的百分比，可以实现对锥形纳米孔和在这些孔内模板化的纳米材料的几何形状的精确控制。我们证明了这一点，通过电镀金纳米锥内的各种锥形纳米孔制备，溶解膜释放的纳米锥，并使用扫描电子显微镜成像的纳米锥。这些调查的结果报告在这里。
We have undertaken a systematic investigation of the influence of ethanol on the shape of conical pores produced by the track-etch technique in poly(ethylene terephthalate) films. We have found that the cone angle of the conical nanopore generated is dependent on the amount of ethanol present in an alkaline etching solution. By varying the percentage of ethanol in the etch solution, precise control over the geometry of the conical nanopore and nanomaterials templated within these pores can be attained. We prove this by plating gold nanocones within the various conical nanopores prepared, dissolving the membrane to liberate the nanocones, and imaging the nanocones using scanning electron microscopy. The results of these investigations are reported here.
