  • Vertical carbon nanotube device in nanoporous templates
    Patent number: 8679630
    Abstract: A modified porous anodic alumina template (PAA) containing a thin CNT catalyst layer directly embedded into the pore walls. CNT synthesis using the template selectively catalyzes SWNTs and DWNTs from the embedded catalyst layer to the top PAA surface, creating a vertical CNT channel within the pores. Subsequent processing allows for easy contact metallization and adaptable functionalization of the CNTs and template for a myriad of applications.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 11, 2007
    Date of Patent: March 25, 2014
    Assignee: Purdue Research Foundation
    Inventors: Matthew Ralph Maschmann, Timothy Scott Fisher, Timothy Sands, Rashid Bashir
