Micrometer-long gold nanowires fabricated using block copolymer templates.
Micrometer-long gold nanowires were fabricated via self-assembly. Diblock copolymer films served as templates for the selective adsorption of 10 nm gold nanoparticles from solution to form well-defined nanostructures. An oxygen plasma treatment induced aggregation of the nanoparticles and the formation of continuous gold nanostructures. The electrical continuity of the nanostructures was observed using scanning electron microscopy.
