Abstract

In this article, we report a novel switch property of conducting polypyrrole nanotube arrays (CPNAs) on biomedical titanium, in which the nanotubular structure can be reversibly switched between open and closed states by applying switch-open/close potentials in situ. We propose a new insight into the study of reversible tubular switches in CPNAs.
