Abstract
This paper describes a fabrication method for carbon nanotubethin films on various substrates including PET (polyethylene terephthalate), glass, polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA), and silicon. The method combines a polydimethysiloxane (PDMS) based transfer-printing technique with vacuum filtration, and allows controlled deposition—andpatterning if needed—of large area highly conducting carbon nanotube films with high homogeneity. In the visible and infrared range, the performance characteristics of fabricatedfilms are comparable to that of indium tin oxide (ITO) on flexible substrates.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
