Carbon nanotube growth on bulk metallic substrate using vapor phase catalyst delivery: Nanotube on (INCONEL 600)
RPI ID: 2006-048-201Innovation Summary:This invention presents a method for growing aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) directly on metal surfaces using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and vapor-phase catalysts. The process eliminates the need for pre-applied solid catalysts or adhesives, simplifying fabrication. The resulting structures form robust, conductive...

Capillarity induced formation of two-dimensional foams in aligned nanotube arrays
RPI ID: 2004-001-201Innovation Summary:This invention discloses a method for fabricating carbon nanotube (CNT) foam structures by wetting vertically aligned CNT arrays with a liquid and then evaporating the liquid to induce capillary-driven densification. The result is a mechanically robust, patterned CNT foam with tunable density and geometry. The...
