Summary: Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanocapsules and nanotubes were selectively synthesized by microemulsion polymerisation using β ‐cyclodextrin ( β ‐CD) as a nanoporogen. Iron( III ) chloride (FeCl 3 ) was used as a structure‐directing agent to fabricate polymer nanotubes. In addition, the average pore size of the PAN nanocapsules and nanotubes could be controlled with the concentration of β ‐CD.(a) TEM image of PAN nanocapsules; (b) SEM image of PAN nanotubes.
