PDMS rubber as a single-source precursor for templated growth of silicananotubes

Abstract

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) rubber can be thermally decomposed in air to produce silica vapor species which can deposit on porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates to produce silica nanotubes with a smooth surface and highly controllable thickness.
