Abstract

A new technology called capillary forming enables transformation of vertically aligned nanoscale filaments into complex three-dimensional microarchitectures. We demonstrate capillary forming of carbon nanotubes into diverse forms having intricate bends, twists, and multidirectional textures. In addition to their novel geometries, these structures have mechanical stiffness exceeding that of microfabrication polymers, and can be used as masters for replica molding

摘要

一种名为毛细成型的新技术可将垂直排列的纳米级纤维转化为复杂的三维微结构。我们展示了碳纳米管通过毛细成型形成各种复杂的弯曲、扭曲和多向纹理形式。除了新颖的几何形状外，这些结构的机械刚度超过了微制造聚合物，并且可作为复制成型的模具使用。
