title: Synthesis and characterization of several one-dimensional nanomaterials.
abstract: Some synthesis methods to fabricate one-dimensional nanomaterials, including template-assisted growth, simple catalyst-free growth and chemical vapor deposition, and the characterization methods by transmission electron microscopy, for example, determination of mechanical properties of ceramic nanowires and helicity distribution of bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes are reported and discussed.
