Abstract

Graphene and other 2D materials can be produced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processing.  CVD processing can also be used to manufacture many 1D nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and silicon nanowires as well as for a wide range of film depositions and other related surface modifications.  The related CVD substrates can be rigid or flexible, and can be in continuous rolls or discrete stacks.

Abstract

Graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), silicon nanowires (SiNWs) and many other nanomaterials and thin films can be produced on flexible, often metallic, substrates using chemical vapour deposition (CVD) based processing. CVD tools can be implemented in many different ways to produce a wide range of material compositions and geometries (OD, 1D, 2D and 3D).

Most traditional style CVD tools are limited in production volume

Abstract

Our standard large area (> m2) CNTSheet™ manufacturing process produces anisotropic porous carbon nanotube sheets in the 10-200μm thickness range. They have electrical and thermal properties that are uniform in the “X” and “Y” direction (sheet plane) and are 1-3 orders of magnitude lower in the “Z” direction. This manufacturing platform, using mm long VASWCNT’s or VAMWCNT’s as the primary mechanically interlocking fiber material, allows
