Morphology optimization of highly oriented carbon nanotubes for bioengineering applications

The remarkable properties of high oriented vertically aligned carbon nanotubes make them attractive for bioengineering applications. In this paper, we describe a process of growing long oriented CNTs arrays to improve the electrical properties of subsequent devices based on CNTs. Chemical vapour dep...
