Very different electronic properties are found in the hexagonal and lamellar nanocomposite films (see schematic representations) prepared by dilution of a pyrrole‐containing surfactant with nonpolymerizable surfactants in a sol–gel‐based template polymerization. The hexagonal composite film comprises a thin polypyrrole nanocable covered with an insulating silicate channel.
