Patent ID: 8603585

Claim:
A method for making a carbon nanotube composite, the method comprising: (a) forming a carbon nanotube film and placing the carbon nanotube film in a die; (b) providing a hardenable liquid material; (c) injecting the hardenable liquid material into the die to immerse the carbon nanotube film; and (d) solidifying the hardenable liquid material; wherein the die is sealed after the carbon nanotube film is placed into the die, and step (d) comprises: (d1) heating the die to a temperature ranging from about 50° C. to about 70° C. for a period of about 1 hour to about 3 hours; (d2) heating the die to a temperature ranging from about 80° C. to about 100° C. for a period of about 1 hour to about 3 hours; (d3) heating the die to a temperature ranging from about 110° C. to about 150° C. for a period of about 2 hours to about 20 hours; and (d4) cooling the die to room temperature.
