PROCESS FOR PRODUCING FILM CONTAINING ORIENTED NANOTUBES OR NANOPARTICLES, AND THE FILM

摘要

A method is disclosed for producing a film containing oriented nanotubes or nanoparticles. The nanotubes typified by CNTs or nanoparticles are oriented utilizing an electric field, and influence of an electrode is suppressed, thereby allowing for production of a large-area film containing nanotubes or nanoparticles including reliably oriented nanotubes or nanoparticles, at a low cost. The method for producing the film containing nanotubes or nanoparticles which are oriented along the plane direction of the film includes: placing a film precursor containing nanotubes or nanoparticles on an interdigitated comb-like electrode through a support, in which the comb-like electrode is arranged on an insulating plate and configured with electrode wires having a circular cross-section; applying an AC voltage to the comb-like electrode in a state with the film precursor present on the comb-like electrode; and converting the film precursor into a film.
