PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods of producing a carbon nanotube mesh structure.SOLUTION: In a method of producing a carbon nanotube mesh structure, a system includes a Langmuir-Blodgett type apparatus including a bath of solution having a plurality of nanotubes floating on a surface of the solution. The system also includes conveyor feed systems that substantially continuously direct a flexible, elongated substrate past the surface of the solution so that the nanotubes couple to the substrate. The nanotubes from a first conveyor feed system are combined with the nanotubes from a second conveyor feed system to form the nanotube mesh structure. By substantially continuously coupling the nanotubes to substrates of the conveyor feed systems, a substantially continuous nanotube mesh structure is formed when the nanotubes are combined. |
