Capillary bending of Janus carbon nanotube micropillars.
We present a scalable process for the fabrication of slanted carbon nanotube micropillar arrays by inclined metal deposition and capillary self-assembly. Local control of the micropillar angle from vertical to nearly horizontal is achieved, and is explained using a finite element model. These structures may be useful for microscale contacts and anisotropic smart surfaces.
متن کاملStructural stability of carbon nanotube films: the role of bending buckling.
In films, mats, buckypaper, and other materials composed of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), individual CNTs are bound together by van der Waals forces and form entangled networks of bundles. Mesoscopic dynamic simulations reproduce the spontaneous self-assembly of CNTs into continuous networks of bundles and reveal that the bending buckling and the length of CNTs are the two main factors responsible f...
متن کاملPolyimide/Carbon Nanotube Composite Films
Low color, space environmentally durable polymeric films with sufficient electrical conductivity to mitigate electrostatic charge (ESC) build-up have potential applications on large, deployable, ultra-light weight Gossamer spacecraft as thin film membranes on antennas, solar sails, thermal/optical coatings, multi-layer insulation blankets, etc.. The challenge has been to develop a method to imp...
متن کاملContinuous Manufacturing of Aligned Carbon Nanotube Films
We present a continuous manufacturing process for low-cost and scalable production of vertically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) forests, along with continuous rolling of the CNTs to create horizontally aligned (HA) CNT ribbons and sheets. These methods are capable of producing uniform films over waferscale dimensions and beyond, and the CNTs can be patterned by lithography and plasma etching to ...
متن کاملCarbon nanotube oscillators: Effect of small bending strain
The oscillatory behavior of CNT oscillators, initially subjected to bending, is studied under constant temperature using molecular dynamics simulations. We constrain the rotational motion of the inner CNT by imposing a small bending deformation to the initial structure. Our observation suggests that this constraint does not enhance the oscillation stability of CNT oscillators. However, oscillat...
