A CARBON NANOTUBE-POLYMER COMPOSITE FOR PATTERNING FORMATION AND THE METHOD FOR PATTERNING FORMATION USING THE COMPOSITE

摘要

PURPOSE: A carbon nanotube-polymer composite for patterning, and a patterning method using thereof are provided to directly pattern a carbon nanotube using the dip-pen nanolithography. CONSTITUTION: A carbon nanotube-polymer composite for patterning contains a carbon nanotube dispersion solution in a liquid phase, a surfactant, and a polymer solution with the viscosity. A patterning method for directly patterning the carbon nanotube to a substrate comprises the following steps: preparing a carbon nanotube-polymer composite solution; inducing the physical adsorption of the carbon nanotube-polymer composite solution to the surface of an AFM probe; transferring the carbon nanotube-polymer composite by moving the AFM probe on the substrate; and removing polymer from the carbon nanotube-polymer composite.
