英文摘要：

As a new kind of quasi one-dimensional materials, microtubes have attracted extensive investigations in recent years, due to their unique structure-property characteristics and potential applications in physical electronics, optics, biomedicine, chemistry, materials science, and micro electronic mechanical system （MEMS）. The present paper provides an overview on the research progress of the chemical techniques including vapor phase direct deposition method, lamella structure scroll method, template-assisted method, metal-catalyst-assisted method and thermal solution method, and the corresponding growth mechanism for the synthesis of microtubes, presents a brief remark on the specific merits and the inevitable weakness of each synthesis techniques, and finally summarizes the application progress of microtubes as well.
