摘要：
We have demonstrated assembly of two- and three-dimensional networks of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) using a microsphere assembly approach. The catalyst microcapsules are made from the solution based impregnation of uniform diameter, porous polystyrene microspheres. Chemical vapor deposition on the microcapsule arrays produces highly interconnected SWNT networks. Varying the microsphere diameter and catalyst solution composition allows varying the pattern spacing, catalyst yield, and network interconnectivity. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
