Method of using pre-formed nanotubes to make carbon nanotube films, layers, ribbons, elements and articles

摘要

Methods of using performed nanotubes to make carbon nanotube films, layers, fabrics, ribbons, elements and articles are disclosed. To make various articles, certain embodiments provide a substrate (12). Performed nanotubes are applied to a surface of the substrate to create a non-woven fabric of carbon nanotubes. Portions of the non-woven fabric (54) are selectively removed according to a defined pattern to create the article. To make a nonfabxic, a substrate is provide. Prefromed nanotubea are applied to a surface of the substrate to create a non-woven fabric of carbon nanotubes wherein the non-woven fabric is substantially uniform density.
