<p>A process for preparing a patterned layer of aligned carbon nanotubes on a substrate including: applying a pattern of polymeric material to the surface of a substrate capable of supporting nanotube growth using a soft-lithographic technique; subjecting said polymeric material to carbonization to form a patterned layer of carbonized polymer on the surface of the substrate; synthesising a layer of aligned carbon nanotubes on regions of said substrate to which carbonized polymer is not attached to provide a patterned layer of aligned carbon nanotubes on said substrate.</p> |
