Nondestructive Carbon Nanotube Modification of Tailored Functionality


EMSL Project ID
2484a

Abstract

As part of JIN Award 2002, wll be working with Chris Aardahl to develop new materials that harness the qualities of carbon nanotubes. Actuator devices based on these materials will be constructed as a proof of concept for the viability of carbon nanotubes for beneficial use. CVD will be used to grow nanotube layers (films) on functional surfaces including glass optical fiber and lithography-created silicon cantilever surfaces.
