Nanoporous particle track etched membranes with pore size ranging from 15 to 100 nm are prepared from 10 mu m thick polycarbonate film. Mean pore size and pore size distribution are determined using electrical conductivity and small angle X-ray scattering techniques, and high resolution scanning electron microscope. NanoPTM are also used as templates for the preparation of electrodeposited nanowires giving interesting information about the pore shape. Results of these characterisation methods are compared.
