Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a carbon nanotube/polymer composite, the method comprising the steps of: (a) providing a carbon nanotube array comprising a plurality of carbon nanotubes and a plurality of clearances formed on a substrate; (b) providing a prepolymer material; (c) putting the carbon nanotube array in prepolymer material, permitting the prepolymer to settle for a period to fill in clearances of the carbon nanotube array, and part of the prepolymer covering on a top end of the carbon nanotube array; (d) applying centrifugal force along with an axis direction of the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube array, and pushing the part of the prepolymer covered on the top end of the carbon nanotube array into the clearances of the carbon nanotube array and obtaining a prepolymer film in the carbon nanotube array; (e) polymerizing the prepolymer film to form a polymer film, the carbon nanotube array thereby being embedded within the polymer film.
