  • Patent number: 8480994
    Abstract: Provided is a method of modifying carbon nanotubes, the method including: preparing a mixed solution in which a radical initiator and a carbon nanotube are dispersed; applying energy to the mixed solution to decompose the radical initiator into a radical; and reacting the decomposed radical with a surface of the carbon nanotube, wherein the radical which has reacted with the carbon nanotube is detached from the carbon nanotube after the reaction with the carbon nanotube. In the method of modifying carbon nanotube, a radical is reacted with a carbon nanotube and then separated from the carbon nanotube to thus modify the surface of the carbon nanotube without chemical bonding. Accordingly, the conductivity of the carbon nanotube can be increased.

  • Publication number: 20120292185
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a liquid film is provided. The method comprises the steps of applying hydrophilic liquid onto a substrate with an electrode formed thereunder, covering the hydrophilic liquid with a protection film comprising hydrophobic liquid, dispersing surfactant for reducing the surface tension between the hydrophilic liquid and the protection film, and applying voltage to the hydrophilic liquid and the electrode to wet the substrate with the hydrophilic liquid. With the surfactant and the electro-wetting principle, a contact angle between the hydrophilic liquid and the substrate is controlled. The liquid film having a uniform thickness in nano size is thus formed on the substrate. The protection film prevents the evaporation of the liquid film in the air to thereby secure the stability of the liquid film.
