Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a transmission electron microscope (TEM) micro-grid comprising: providing a support ring comprising a metal and a sheet-shaped carbon nanotube structure precursor; disposing the sheet-shaped carbon nanotube structure precursor on the support ring; cutting the sheet-shaped carbon nanotube structure precursor to form a sheet-shaped carbon nanotube structure in a desired shape; and securing the sheet-shaped carbon nanotube structure on the support ring, wherein the support ring comprises a support body having a smooth mounting surface and at least one flange extending from the support body; in the step of securing, the at least one flange is distorted towards to the smooth mounting surface of the support body until the sheet-shaped carbon nanotube structure is secured by the at least one flange.
