Alignment of carbon nanotubes

摘要

Carbon nanotubes are aligned within a host phase of a material that has molecules that will align under a certain influence. When the host molecules become aligned, they cause the carbon nanotube fibers to also become aligned in the same direction. The film of aligned carbon nanotubes is then cured into a permanent phase, which can then be polished to produce a thin film of commonly aligned carbon nanotube fibers for use within a field emission device.
