Abstract

Long Carbon Nanotubes(CNTs) were cut by diamond lapping film followed by observation using SEM. The paste was prepared by mixing shortened CNT powder, ${\alpha}$-terpineol used as a solvent, and ethylcellulose as a binder. This paste was deposited on glass substrate by screen printing and extruded by syringe. After screen printing, several post-treatments were performed to control the alignment of CNTs perpendicular to the substrate. The deposited CNTs were scratched by sand paper or diamond lapping film. It was also treated by attachment followed by an immediate detachment using the adhesive tape. SEM observation indicates that excellent vertical alignment of CNTs could be achieved by simple post-treatments from the screen printed-CNTs paste. Similar alignment of CNTs is also observed in the as-extruded CNTs paste.

다이아몬드 연마 필름(diamond lapping film)으로 긴 탄소나노튜브를 절단하고 이를 Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM)으로 관찰했다. 절단된 탄소나노튜브를 ${\alpha}$-terpineol을 용매로 ethyl cellulose를 바인더로 사용하여 제조한 페이스트를 스크린 프린팅과 주사 사출법으로 유리 기판에 도포하였다. 스크린 프린팅으로 인쇄된 선에 존재하는 절단된 탄소나노튜브를 기판에 대해 수직 배향을 시키기 위하여 사포, 다이아몬드 연마 필름을 사용하여 마찰시키거나 접착성이 있는 테이프를 이용하여 접촉시켰다가 분리 하는 방법을 시도하였다. SEM으로 탄소나노튜브의 배향 특성을 관찰한 결과 주사 사출법과 스크린 프린팅 후 다이아몬드 연마 필름을 사용하여 후처리하는 간편한 방법으로 탄소나노튜브의 우수한 수직배양이 이루어짐을 알 수 있었다.
