BASE MATERIAL FOR CARBON NANOTUBE PRODUCTION AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING CARBON NANOTUBES

摘要

This base material for carbon nanotube production is designed to be used as a base material for growing carbon nanotubes, wherein the base material for carbon nanotube production is characterized in that a catalytic metal thin film layer is provided on the surface of a glass-ceramic base material. In this base material for carbon nanotube production, the glass-ceramic base material preferably contains an alkali metal oxide and is also provided with an elution-preventing film layer for preventing the elution of alkali metal ions between the glass-ceramic base material surface and the catalytic metal thin film layer.
