  • Title: Aligned carbon nanotube, graphene and graphite oxide thin films via substrate-directed rapid interfacial deposition.
    Author: D'Arcy JM, Tran HD, Stieg AZ, Gimzewski JK, Kaner RB.
    Journal: Nanoscale; 2012 May 21; 4(10):3075-82. PubMed ID: 22415611.
    Abstract:
    A procedure for depositing thin films of carbon nanostructures is described that overcomes the limitations typically associated with solution based methods. Transparent and conductively continuous carbon coatings can be grown on virtually any type of substrate within seconds. Interfacial surface tension gradients result in directional fluid flow and film spreading at the water/oil interface. Transparent films of carbon nanostructures are produced including aligned ropes of single-walled carbon nanotubes and assemblies of single sheets of chemically converted graphene and graphite oxide. Process scale-up, layer-by-layer deposition, and a simple method for coating non-activated hydrophobic surfaces are demonstrated.
