Carbon Nanotube-Containing Structures, Methods Of Making, And Processes Using Same

Title: Carbon Nanotube-Containing Structures, Methods Of Making, And Processes Using Same

Abstract

Carbon nanotube structures are disclosed in which nanotubes are disposed over a porous support such as a foam, felt, mesh, or membrane. Techniques of making these structures are also disclosed. In some of these techniques, a support is pretreated with a templated surfactant composition to assist with the formation of a nanotube layer.
