Abstract

Update on the synthesis and characterization of new inorganic nanotubes from 2D compounds, like W(S,Se)2 1 0≤ xS≤ 1) will be given. Fig. 1 shows scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) imaging of such nanotubes. The strong coupling between optical cavity modes confined in the nanotube and the exitonic transitions have been studied in some detail.12 An 'artificial recording eye' combining vison, storage and writing power has been established by a 4 × 4 array of WS2 nanotubes.3 Fruitful efforts to obtain WS2 nanotubes of large aspect ratio (> 2000) were reported.4 Fig. 2 shows scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of an assortment of such nanotubes. Recent progress in mechanically reinforcing different polymers, will be briefly discussed, mostly in relation to biomedical technologies and 3D printing.
