Abstract

Microtubes of ZnO have been produced using sputter coating and a fugitive phase technique. ZnO was sputtered onto polyester fibers by dc magnetron sputtering, and the polyester fiber fugitive phase was subsequently burned out by annealing in air or oxygen. Tubes with an inside diameter of 23 μm and a length of 3 cm were obtained. The 3 to 6 μm thick walls of the tubes exhibited a [002] radial texture.
