Summary: Polyaniline nanobelts have been synthesized by a self‐assembly process using the chemical oxidative polymerization of aniline in a surfactant gel. The morphologies of polyaniline nanostructures were characterized by field‐emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The effects of the concentrations of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide on the morphologies of polyaniline nanostructures have also been investigated.A scanning electron microscopy image of polyaniline nanobelts synthesized with 0.12 M cetyltrimethylammonium bromide at −7 °C.
