title: Titanate nanotube thin films via alternate layer deposition.
abstract: Layer-by-layer growth of titanate nanotubes on glass substrates was achieved by alternate layer deposition using an aqueous solution of colloidal titanate nanotubes and that of a polycation. Even a single layer thin film of titanate nanotube shows high photoinduced hydrophilicity.
