NANOFABRIC ARTICLES AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME

摘要

A discrete electro-mechanical device includes a structure (182) having an electrically-conductive trace. A defined patch of nanotube fabric (154) is disposed in spaced relation to the trace; and the defined patch of nanotube fabric (154) is electromechanically deflectable between a first and second state. In the first state, the nanotube article is in contact with the trace. A low resistance signal path is in electrical communication with the defined patch of nanofabric (154). Under certain embodiments, the structure (182) includes a defined gap (180) into which the electrically conductive trace is disposed.
