Title:
CARBON NANOTUBES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005079188
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Carbon nanotubes can be self-aligned by making composites of carbon nanotube powders with particles and organic and/or inorganic carriers such as water or other solvents. After the mixture is applied onto a substrate by whatever ways, such as brushing, screen-printing, ink-jet printing, spraying, dispersing, spin-coating, dipping, and the like and combinations, a fragmentation process occurs when the composite material is dried or cured by certain ways to eliminate some or all of the carrier material. This results in microcracks forming between the fragments. CNT fibers that are bonded or set in the fragments on either side of a crack are aligned in the crack area, either by stretching the fibers or by allowing the fibers to spool out from one or both fragments.
