  • Carbon nanotube growth on metallic substrate using vapor phase catalyst delivery
    Patent number: 8207658
    Abstract: A chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method using a vapor phase catalyst of directly growing aligned carbon nanotubes on a metal surfaces. The method allows for fabrication of carbon nanotube containing structures that exhibit a robust carbon nanotube metal junction without a pre-growth application of solid catalytic materials to the metal surface or the use of solder or adhesives in a multi-step fabrication process.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 25, 2006
    Date of Patent: June 26, 2012
    Assignee: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
    Inventors: Saikat Talapatra, Swastik Kar, Sunil Pal, Robert Vajtai, Pulickel Ajayan
