“…By first rendering the surfaces of the TMV conductive with platinum, several studies have shown that subsequent immersion in copper and nickel solutions results in the catalytic electroless deposition of the desired metal in an extremely fine manner (Knez et al 2003;Balci et al 2006). Nanowires of 3 nm in diameter and up to 150 nm in length were able to be formed within the interior channel of the TMV virion.…”

The technological advances predicted (or, perhaps, demanded) for the twenty-first century are intimately linked to the crystallochemically controlled synthesis of highperformance functional materials. To answer the new hendiatris of 'smaller, faster, better', the manufacture of these materials as nanoparticles has become a scientific noblesse oblige. Direct incorporation into the next generation of electronic devices will necessitate anisotropic forms of these materials, be they nanowires, nanotapes or nanotubes. Chemists have recently discovered that, in addition to the classical methods of anisotropic growth, new routes allow more complex materials to be synthesized in these morphologies. This review describes, using a series of examples, how the morphology of functional materials can be controlled using templated growth mediated by a biopolymer. By involving a biopolymer in the synthetic protocol, anisotropic nanoparticles and assemblages of even quite complex materials can be generated in syntheses that are simple, elegant and highly specific.

In this article, the recent developments in electroless plating of copper, electroless bath formulation and effect of plating parameters have been reviewed. Cyanide free electroless baths are now being developed and studied due to the various environmental concerns. Various organic chemicals such as complexing agents, reducing agents, and additives such as poly-alcohols and aromatic ring compounds have been added to copper plating baths for promising results. The effects of various reducing and complexing agents, bath conditions like additives, bath pH, and composition have been summarized. Finally the applications of the electroless plating of copper and latest developments have been overviewed for further guidance in this field.

“…Because large rod-or tubelike biological molecules such as DNA, [1] plant viruses, [2][3][4] protein tubes [5] and protein fibers [6] are often some tens of nanometers in size and can be produced with atomic precision, they are ideal building blocks for the study of molecularlydirected assembly of biomolecular arrays. There is growing interest in using such entities for nanoscale structuring, as functional units [7] or as templates.…”
