Domino pushing effect

Another way to produce buckypaper without the dispersion and filtration method is the domino pushing effect . Ding et al present a simple and effective macroscopic manipulation of aligned CNT arrays. The domino pushing of the CNT arrays can efficiently ensure that most of the CNTs are well aligned tightly in the buckypaper structure. 

A simple but effective macroscopic manipulation of carbon nanotube arrays called domino pushing has been developed to make thicker aligned carbon nanotube papers. The schematic of the domino pushing method is shown in Fig. 4.6. First, the nanotube array is covered with a piece of micro-porous membrane. The nanotubes in the array are then...
