E. Ferain et R. Legras, CHARACTERIZATION OF NANOPOROUS PARTICLE TRACK ETCHED MEMBRANE, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 131(1-4), 1997, pp. 97-102
Nanoporous particle track etched membranes with pore size ranging from
15 to 100 nm are prepared from 10 mu m thick polycarbonate film. Mean
pore size and pore size distribution are determined using electrical
conductivity and small angle X-ray scattering techniques, and high res
olution scanning electron microscope. NanoPTM are also used as templat
es for the preparation of electrodeposited nanowires giving interestin
g information about the pore shape. Results of these characterisation
methods are compared.
