  • METHOD FOR ENHANCING GROWTH OF CARBON NANOTUBES ON SUBSTRATES
    Publication number: 20150147525
    Abstract: Methods for enabling or enhancing growth of carbon nanotubes on unconventional substrates. The method includes selecting an inactive substrate, which has surface properties that are not favorable to carbon nanotube growth. A surface of the inactive substrate is treated so as to increase a porosity of the same. CNTs are then grown on the surface having the increased porosity.
