Title: Production of vertical arrays of small diameter single-walled carbon nanotubes

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1092982
;

A hot filament chemical vapor deposition method has been developed to grow at least one vertical single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT). In general, various embodiments of the present invention disclose novel processes for growing and/or producing enhanced nanotube carpets with decreased diameters as compared to the prior art.
