The paper presents a short review of recent achievements in the rapidly growing field of the template synthesis of nanostructures together with their possible application. The results of our own work, concerning the polypyrrole nanotubules synthesis inside pores of track-etched membranes, have been presented as well. Finally, the kinetics of nanotubule growth process using the SEM method and permeability for air of the resulting structures has been also determined.
