Patterning of hydrophobic three-dimensional carbon nanotube architectures by a pattern transfer approach

Abstract

Hydrophobic three-dimensional carbon nanotube architectures with patterned morphologies have been fabricated by a pattern transfer method, in which the components of the masks served as promoters/inhibitors to increase/decrease the catalyst activity for the self-organization of carbon nanotubes into a family of patterned nanoarchitectures.
