ABSTRACT:
A process for synthesizing nanostructures is disclosed. The process involves forming a liquid crystalline template by combining a block copolymer, a first reactant in a polar phase, and a nonpolar phase, then contacting the template with a gas phase composed of a second reactant, under conditions effective to form nanostructures.
