Abstract: Provided are an apparatus for manufacturing carbon nanotubes and a method of manufacturing carbon nanotubes with the apparatus. A plurality of carbon-nanotube-synthesizing units are disposed in series to continuously perform a carbon-nanotube-synthesizing process. Thus, carbon nanotubes having a uniform quality can be synthesized.

Abstract: According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention there is provided a catalyst-spreading device comprising: a mesh boat which stores catalyst to be spread on a substrate and includes a bottom having a mesh net, a transportation unit which transports the mesh boat or the substrate, and a vibration unit which vibrates the mesh boat to spread the catalyst on the substrate.

Abstract: A system for producing carbon nanotubes includes a reaction chamber in which a process is performed for producing a carbon nanotube on a synthetic substrate; a station part disposed at one side of the reaction chamber and provided with a first transporter for loading/unloading the synthetic substrate to/from the reaction chamber; a first transporter installed inside the station part for loading/unloading synthetic substrates to/from the reaction chamber; a substrate accommodating part in which a substrate to be loaded to the reaction chamber is accommodated or a synthetic substrate unloaded from the reaction chamber waits; a retrieve part for drawing out a synthetic substrate from the substrate accommodating part to retrieve a carbon nanotube produced on the synthetic substrate; a catalyst coating unit configured for coating a synthetic substrate with a catalyst before the synthetic substrate is accommodated in the substrate accommodating part of the station part; and a second transporter for transporting a s

Abstract: Apparatus and method for compounding carbon nanotubes are provided to uniformly supply a source gas used to compound carbon nanotubes, efficiently exhaust the source gas, and increase a retrieve rate of the carbon nanotubes. According to the apparatus and method, carbon nanotubes are massively compounded.
