nanomaterials via template-free methods. Electrospinning, one of the template-free
methods, is a simple technique used to fabricate continuous 1D CP nanomaterials.
One-dimensional multidimensional PEDOT NTs were fabricated by vapor deposi-
tion polymerization (VDP) mediated electrospun processes (Fig. 13.1c ; [ 51 ]).

Microemulsion

Attractive methodologies and nanotemplates have been developed for fabricating
1D CP nanomaterials [ 26 , 27 - 30 , 50 ]. They showed novel physical, chemical, and
optical properties, providing opportunities for advanced energy and environmen-
