MESO-SCALE CARBON NANOTUBE SELF-ASSEMBLED TUBE STRUCTURES

摘要

Multiple-scale self-assembled tube structures (SATS) comprising multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNT) and processes for their nucleation and growth. These hierarchical and self-assembled SATS demonstrate the feasibility of controlled synthesis of macroscopic CNT structures and CNT-reinforced materials for use in broad applications such as structures, thermal transfer, electronics, fluid dynamics, and micro-fluidics.
