ABSTRACT
Nanotube membranes are an attractive platform for nanotechnology in large part due to the simple, yet effective, manners in which they can be used. Membrane approaches to nanotechnology offer a facile manner to handle and manipulate nanomaterials without the use of highly specialized equipment. Further, homogenous pores ensure homogenous nanomaterials, a characteristic which is often not easily achieved at these small scales. Appropriate membranes can be purchased commercially, or can be fabricated by the user, and relatively simple techniques can be used to chemically or physically modify the membrane properties.
