Surface structures of various nanoscale materials were studied in profile by high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy. These materials include carbon nanofibres containing polymerized carbon nanobells, boron carbonitride nanofibres with a cactus‐like surface structure, carbon nanotubes with polymer coating, mesoporous molecular sieves with a paintbrush‐like surface and some nanoparticle specimens with interesting surfaces. The formation mechanisms of the surface structures and the surface‐related properties of the materials also are discussed. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
