Abstract: A method of forming a conductive adhesive includes condensation-polymerizing a carrier onto a plurality of carbon nanotubes each disposed on a substrate and having a first end and a second end spaced opposite the first end. The carrier is spaced apart from the substrate so that each of the plurality of carbon nanotubes extends continuously through the carrier such that the first end and the second end are spaced apart from the carrier. After condensation-polymerizing, the method includes removing the substrate from the plurality of carbon nanotubes without removing the carrier from the plurality of carbon nanotubes to thereby form the conductive adhesive. A conductive adhesive for removably joining a first surface and a second surface is also disclosed.
