title: Synthesis of MoO3 nanotubes by thermal mesostructural transition of spherical triblock copolymer micelle templates.
abstract: Here we report a new method of synthesizing one-dimensional metal oxide nanotubes (MoO(3)) via thermal mesostructural transition of spherical micelle templates. This nanotube formation is realized by entanglement of adjacent spherical core-shell nanoparticles templated from block copolymer micelles.
