Follow on: A New Method for Purifying and Depositing Carbon Nanotubes

EPSRC资助的对电子液体的研究导致了一种选择性溶解和沉积单壁碳纳米管的新工艺的开发。初步的实验结果表明，这个过程提供了选择和沉积的薄导电膜的纳米管，具有更高程度的纳米管的选择性和对齐比以前实现的基础。此外，早期迹象表明，与现有方法相比，该方法对管的损伤较小，并且更具可扩展性。我们现在请求后续资金支持该过程的实验室规模演示工作，这将使我们能够证明我们生产高度选择和对齐的单壁纳米管薄膜的能力。通过生产高质量和可重复的样品，该团队将能够与纳米管生产商和最终用户一起对我们的工艺和产品进行市场测试，从而达成许可协议。EPSRC资助的电子液体研究已经开发出一种选择性溶解和沉积单壁碳纳米管的新工艺。初步的实验结果表明，这个过程提供了选择和沉积的薄导电膜的纳米管，具有更高程度的纳米管的选择性和对齐比以前实现的基础。此外，早期迹象表明，与现有方法相比，该方法对管的损伤较小，并且更具可扩展性。我们现在请求后续资金支持该过程的实验室规模演示工作，这将使我们能够证明我们生产高度选择和对齐的单壁纳米管薄膜的能力。通过生产高质量和可重复的样品，该团队将能够与纳米管生产商和最终用户一起对我们的工艺和产品进行市场测试，从而达成许可协议。

EPSRC funded research into Electronic Liquids has led to the development of a novel process for the selective dissolution and deposition of single wall carbon nanotubes. Initial experimental results have shown that this process provides the basis for selection and depositing of thin conducting films of nanotubes, with a much higher degree of nanotube selectivity and alignment than previously achieved. In addition, early indications suggest that the process is less damaging to the tubes and more scaleable compared to existing methods. We now request follow-on funding to support work on a laboratory-scale demonstration of the process which will enable us to demonstrate our ability to produce highly selected and aligned single walled nanotube thin films. By producing high quality and reproducible samples, the team will be able to market-test our process and products with nanotubes producers and end-users, and thus enable licensing agreements to be reached.EPSRC funded research into Electronic Liquids has led to the development of a novel process for the selective dissolution and deposition of single wall carbon nanotubes.
