Decorated Carbon Nanotubes

Decorated Carbon Nanotubes - For novel materials with tailorable electrical properties. This new class of materials is created based on depositing nanometer-sized metal particles onto carbon allotropes. The method is scalable and relatively simple, and allows for control over the size and distribution of the metal particles in the substrate, adjusting the surface area to optimize specific thermal or electrical properties of the material.
