摘要
An approach to forming two-dimensional arrays of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) on the silicon wafer from an immiscible polymer pair of polystyrene (PS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) thin film was described. MWNTs were treated by a reflux of 3 M HNO3, followed by a reflux of 5 M HCl, to eliminate any residual impurities. The nanowires were very stable, firmly attached to the silicon wafer, and could not be easily removed. The results show that MWNT arrays are not observed in both MWNT-PS nanocomposite and the PS/MWNT blend.
