Abstract:
1. A method for making a conductive tape, the method comprising the steps of: (a) fabricating at least two carbon nanotube films and providing adhesive agent, each of the at least two carbon nanotube films including a plurality of carbon nanotube segments connected end to end, each of the carbon nanotube segments comprised of a plurality of carbon nanotube bundles parallel to each other and combined by van der Waals attractive force end to end, each of the carbon nanotube bundles comprised of a plurality of carbon nanotubes arranged in parallel; (b) coating the adhesive agent on a base and drying the adhesive agent on the base so as to form an adhesive layer; and (c) putting the at least two carbon nanotube films onto the adhesive layer to form a carbon nanotube layer on the adhesive layer and compressing the carbon nanotube layer so as to sandwich the adhesive layer between the carbon nanotube layer and the base, wherein in step (a), the process of fabricating the at least two carbon nanotube films includes the substeps of: (a1) forming an array of carbon nanotubes; (a2) pulling the at least two carbon nanotube films out from the array of carbon nanotubes, the at least two carbon nanotube films overlapped with each other are put on the adhesive layer; wherein step (c) comprises the substeps of: (c1) putting the base with the adhesive layer coated thereon onto a platform, and configuring the adhesive layer opposite to the platform; (c2) putting the carbon nanotube layer on the adhesive layer; and (c3) compressing the carbon nanotube layer.
