  • Method and System for Increasing the Thickness of a Carbon Nanotube Sheet Structure
    Publication number: 20190247799
    Abstract: A method for increasing the thickness of a sheet of CNTs (146, 147, 246, 346), comprising: providing a wet sheet of CNTs, wherein the sheet of CNTs is either a continuous sheet of CNTs or a portion of sheet of CNTs, wherein the wet sheet of CNTs is the result of applying a process for manufacturing a sheet of CNTs; separating the wet sheet of CNTs from any filter or support element; drying the wet sheet of CNTs (146, 147, 246, 346) by applying heat (15, 25, 35) from a heat source (12, 22, 32).
