Preparation of nanostructured surfaces by electrochemical deposition through lyotropic liquid-crystal templates. Hexagonal-phase lyotropic liquid crystals may be used as templates to deposit metals on electrodes. The sizes of the structures made by this method are a few nanometres. We propose to exploit both the aqueous and non-aqueous parts of the liquid crystal to deposit different metals, polymers or metals and polymers. Thin metal wires (nano-wires) sheathed in polymer will be the thinnest insulated wires ever made. Carbon nanotubes will also be aligned in the hexagonal hole in the template allowing exploitation of these unique species. The structures that will be fabricated will be candidates for catalysts, sensor arrays and electronic devices.

溶致液晶模板电化学沉积制备纳米结构表面。阻碍相溶致液晶可用作模板以在电极上存款金属。用这种方法制造的结构的尺寸是几个纳米。我们建议利用液晶的水性和非水性部分来存款不同的金属、聚合物或金属和聚合物。包覆在聚合物中的细金属线（纳米线）将是有史以来最细的绝缘线。碳纳米管也将在模板中的六边形孔中对齐，从而允许利用这些独特的物种。将被制造的结构将是催化剂，传感器阵列和电子设备的候选人。
