METHOD FOR COVERING CAPILLARIES WITH NANOTUBES BY MEANS OF ELECTRO-ASSISTED DEPOSITION AND MICROREACTOR DESIGNED TO EXECUTE SAID METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a method for covering capillaries with nanotubes in a microreactor with at least two electrodes, comprising the following steps: a) dispersing the nanotubes in water, and b) filling the capillary to be covered with the dispersion of nanotubes produced in step a). The deposition of the nanotubes on the capillary is an electro-assisted deposition. The microreactor designed to execute the above-mentioned method comprises a column (4) where the capillary (2) remains housed, the capillary containing, in turn, a first electrode (7) while a second electrode (8) is wound around the outer surface of the capillary (2). The passage of a dispersion of nanotubes (3) is enabled along the entire capillary (2) from the upper end thereof where the dispersion is introduced(2) by means of a syringe (9) connected to the capillary (2) by means of a needle (1).
