Abstract

Based on the remarkable properties and the extraordinary performance in theory, carbon nanotube (CNT) has been attracted numerous of attention and research interest since it has been found from 1991. However, until now there are no mature applications in our daily life, because of its singularity properties (even in one single tube) and nano-scale size (hard to handle). In this study, the unique dispersion and filtration process were introduced to form a bulk material, so called buckypaper (BP), from few grams of CNTs. That causes the superior nature of CNTs could expand and homogenize from a nano scale to macro scale. And, make a great breakthrough for real application of CNTs.
