Abstract
Carbon nanotubules and nanowires were synthesized by pyrolysis of polymer precursors in the pores of alumina membranes. The nanowires were released by dissolving the membranes, and were then made hydrophobic or hydrophilic by chemical surface derivatization. These nanowires could be placed into lithographically defined wells on surfaces by means of electrostatic interactions with monolayers at the bottoms of the wells.

**Multiβwalled carbon nanotubes** are used for the templated assembly of HErPc~2~ nanowires via the phaseβseparation method. When the solvent is evaporated gradually, HErPc~2~ nanoparticles and nanowires are found to selfβassemble on the exterior walls of CNTs, as shown in the Figure. The CNTβHErPc~
## Abstract The hydrophilicity of polymers can be improved through surface modification, traditionally done with conventional organic solvents, but these may cause the deterioration of polymer bulk properties due to irreversible polymer swelling. However, supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO~2~) not
