Method for manufacturing carbon nanotubes with uniform length

摘要

A method for manufacturing carbon nanotubes with a uniform length includes the steps of: (a) forming an array of carbon nanotubes on a substrate; (b) submerging the carbon nanotubes in liquid macromolecular material; (c) solidifying the liquid macromolecular material; (d) cutting the solidified liquid macromolecular material; and (e) removing the macromolecular material to obtain the carbon nanotubes with a uniform length. The method is simple, and carbon nanotubes with a desired length can be easily obtained. The length of the carbon nanotubes can be precisely controlled. Furthermore, each carbon nanotube is open at both ends thereof.
