Cover Picture: Hybrid Microstructures from Aligned Carbon Nanotubes and Silica Particles (Small 8‐9/2005)

The cover picture illustrates new possibilities for integrating nanostructures of different dimensionalities into larger‐scale architectures. The foreground collage shows hybrid microstructures of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes, grown by chemical vapor deposition on close‐packed assemblies of silica microparticles; such an assembly is depicted in the background. For more information, please read the Communication “Hybrid Microstructures from Aligned Carbon Nanotubes and Silica Particles” by G. Ramanath and co‐workers on page 823 ff.
