Abstract
The preparation of structures with nanosized arrays allows mimicking many different morphologies that exist in nature. In addition, polymer is considered as a material that can be easily applicable to the fabrication of nanostructures and can effectively exhibit nanosize effects since material, synthesis and processing cost is low, and many of polymer structures are well studied. Porous alumina template prepared by anodization of aluminum among nanofabrication methods is the one of promising routes that cost-effectively provides very regularly arrayed nanostructures. In this review, we describe the fabrication of the nanotemplate and template-based polymer nanostructures and their applications.
