Abstract

One-dimensional composite nanofibers were generated via the head-to-tail assembly of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) as well as in-situ polymerization of polyaniline (PANI) on the surface of TMV. These composite nanofibers have very high aspect ratio and good processibility. In addition, the morphology of the final composite materials can be modulated by the surface modification of TMV. The products were characterized with transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and x-ray scattering techniques. This novel strategy of 1D nanomaterial synthesis could be utilized in the fabrication of advanced materials for potential applications including electronics, optics, sensing and biomedical engineering.
