METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ORIENTED CARBON NANOTUBE MEMBRANE HAVING OPEN TIP END

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing an oriented carbon nanotube membrane, whose tip end is opened, which can be utilized to various sticking base bodies and to a base body having a large size with a simple process. SOLUTION: This oriented carbon nanotube membrane stuck onto a base body is manufactured through a process for preparing a membrane of oriented carbon nanotubes each having a residual catalyst metal at its tip end on a substrate for growth, and a process for sticking the tip end side of the oriented carbon nanotube membrane to a second base body and peeling the substrate for growth. The oriented membrane comprising carbon nanotubes each having an open tip end is useful for electron emission and storing a gas or as a separating membrane and an electrode.
