AB  - We developed a reproducible, noncovalent strategy to functionalize multiwalled 
      carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) via embedding nanotubes in polysiloxane shells. 
      (3-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane molecules adsorbed to the nanotube surfaces via 
      hydrophobic interactions are polymerized simply by acid catalysis and form a thin 
      polysiloxane layer. On the basis of the embedded MWNTs, negatively charged gold 
      nanoparticles are anchored to the nanotube surfaces via electrostatic 
      interactions between the protonated amino groups and the gold nanoparticles. 
      Furthermore, these gold nanoparticles can further grow and magnify along the 
      nanotubes through heating in HAuCl4 aqueous solution at 100 degrees C; as a 
      result these nanoparticles are joined to form continuous gold nanowires with 
      MWNTs acting as templates.
