Abstract:
1. A method for producing a nanotube film, the method comprising: supplying a carbon-bearing precursor gas and using the carbon-bearing precursor gas for growing a first nanotube forest on a first substrate positioned within a reaction chamber having an access port, and for growing a second nanotube forest on a second substrate positioned within the reaction chamber, wherein the reaction chamber is positioned in a furnace; pulling a first nanotube film from the first nanotube forest on the first substrate; splicing the first nanotube film to nanotubes of the second substrate; and continuing pulling the first nanotube film such that, spliced to the first nanotubes film, a film of nanotubes is pulled from the second substrate.
