OS1510 Carbon nanotube alignment in uncured suspension above the multiple-electrode by applying the multi-phase voltage

Abstract

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes in uncured ultraviolet ray curing resin suspension were aligned by applying the multi-phase voltage. After the alignment, the suspension was cured by irradiating ultraviolet ray. The multiple-electrode used to the experiment was constructed by 24 long and slender electrodes. The cover glass was put on the multiple-electrode, and the suspension was dropped on the cover glass. The multi-phase voltage was applied to the multiple-electrode, and the traveling electric field was applied to the suspension.
