Conductive polypyrrole (Ppy) nanowires (see picture) can be grown from single adsorbed synthetic polyelectrolyte molecules by oxidative polycondensation of pyrrole. The location and length of the Ppy nanowires are defined by the location and length of the adsorbed single-molecule templates. The diameter of the Ppy nanowires varies from a few to hundreds of nanometers and can be adjusted by varying the reaction conditions.
