  • METHOD FOR PRODUCING SUPERHYDROPHOBIC CARBON NANOTUBE SHEETS
    Publication number: 20240010498
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods of producing superhydrophobic carbon nanotube sheets. The methods disclosed herein allow the rapid and scalable production of superhydrophobic carbon nanotube sheets that may remain on a substrate, or they may be removed from the substrate to produce freestanding superhydrophobic carbon nanotube sheets. The carbon nanotube sheets produced by the present methods were confirmed to be superhydrophobic by water droplet contact angle.

  • Tape-casting apparatuses for preparing carbon nanostructure sheets and carbon nanostructure sheets prepared by the same
    Patent number: 11866331
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for preparing carbon nanostructure sheets are provided. The apparatuses may include a casting body including a substrate configured to move along a first direction, a slurry reservoir configured to contain a slurry, a dispenser connected to the slurry reservoir and configured to dispense the slurry onto a surface of the substrate and a doctoring member that extends in a second direction traversing the first direction and that is positioned above the surface of the substrate. The slurry may include carbon nanostructures, and/or one or more functional materials. The doctoring member may be spaced apart from the surface of the substrate by a predetermined distance.
