DIRECTED ASSEMBLY OF HIGHLY-ORGANIZED CARBON NANOTUBE ARCHITECTURES

摘要

A method controllably aligning carbon nantotubes to a template structure (12) to fabricate a variety of carbon nanotube containing structures and devices having desired characteristics is provided. The method allows simultaneous, selective growth of both vertically and horizontally controllably aligned nanotubes (14) on the template structure (12) but not on a substrate (10) in a single prosses step.
