Electrically conductive CNT networks formed by laser

Abstract

Abstract Materials containing conductive CNT networks were investigated in this work. Binding of CNTs to each other was carried out using laser radiation in scanning mode. As a result of experimental studies, radiation energy density at which the effect of SWCNT binding occured was found – 0.061 J/cm2. Mechanism by which formation of porous materials with SWCNTs in composition takes place has been established. Materials from CNTs and biopolymers with controllable pore sizes that make up more than 60% of nanocomposite volume have been made.
