Description
Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) in nanocomposites have exceptional strengths which can be advantageous if and only if they are both dispersed and aligned. We tested for alignment in a variety of samples, using synthetic nanolithography, magnetism, and electric fields. We found signals of alignment in samples that were made using synthetic nanolithography and electric field techniques. A possible implication of this research is that our techniques may be used to design coating materials with exceptional strength properties that can be used in areas of mechanics.
