Nanopores and especially ordered arrays of nanopores are of interest as building blocks for nanotechnology. Various types of material systems enabling the fabrication of ordered arrays of nanopores will be described including porous anodic alumina and arrays based on diblockcopolymers. The resulting nanopores may be filled with various materials leading to nanowires or nanotubes depending on the fabrication procedure. Nanorods and nanowires, which can be used as basic elements of nanoelectronic devices, may also be generated in a number of other template-free ways which will be discussed. Potential applications will also be touched upon.
