Conclusions
The latter examples showed that INPs obtained by the
self-assembly of a single layer of block copolymer micelles
in the presence of suitable inorganic sol-gel precursors
during controlled dip-coating have potential interest in
many fields of nanotechnology and nanofabrication. This is
related to the versatility in adjusting the INP chemical
composition together with the perforation dimensions and
separation distance, to the chemicalemechanical and
thermal stability of the material, and to the ease of preparing
very large surfaces at low cost. Despite the already
very promising results, it is with no doubt that such INP
systems will become more and more appealing and that
other types of composition and combination will soon see
the light of day
