    摘要: Structures and methods that include selective electrostatic placement based on a dipole-to-dipole interaction of electron-rich carbon nanotubes onto an electron-deficient pre-patterned surface. The structure includes a substrate with a first surface having a first isoelectric point and at least one additional surface having a second isoelectric point. A self-assembled monolayer is selectively formed on the first surface and includes an electron deficient compound including a deprotonated pendant hydroxamic acid or a pendant phosphonic acid group or a pendant catechol group bound to the first surface. An organic solvent can be used to deposit the electron rich carbon nanotubes on the self-assembled monolayer.

    摘要: Techniques are described for transferring nanofiber forests using transfer films that either lack a conventional adhesive at the substrate—nanofiber forest interface or that include a diffusion barrier that prevents diffusion of adhesive molecules (or other polymer molecules mobile at ambient temperatures) into the nanofiber forest. These techniques can be applied to single layer nanofiber forests or stacks of multiple nanofiber forest. By selecting the bond strength between the nanofiber forest and the transfer films, the nanofibers can be aligned in a common direction that includes, but is not limited to, perpendicular to a substrate or transfer film.

    摘要: A carbon nanotube film includes a first end and a second end. The second end is opposite to the first end. The carbon nanotube film includes a number of carbon nanotube wires and at least one first carbon nanotube film connected adjacent carbon nanotube wires of the number of carbon nanotube wires. The carbon nanotube wires fan out from the first end to the second end such that a distance between the adjacent carbon nanotube wires gradually increases from the first end to the second end. The carbon nanotube film defines an open angle. A method for making the above-mentioned carbon nanotube film is also provided.
