摘要: In this study, we focus on processing and characterizing composite material structures made of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reproducibly engineering macro-pores inside their structure. Highly porous bucky-papers were fabricated from pure by dispersing stabilizing large 1 μm polystyrene beads within a nanotube suspension. The beads, homogeneously dispersed across the thickness bucky-papers, then either dissolved or carbonized to generate macro cavities different shape properties. impact adding these porosity, specific surface area Young’s modulus was investigated some benefits will be demonstrated.
