Summary: | Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2008. === Includes bibliographical references (p. 31-32). === The urgent stipulation is to manufacture CNTs of desired properties and dimensions. The heart of this yearning lies in understanding the growth and assembly methods of CNTs, which are not yet clear. In this study, hence, we concentrate on the synthesis and assemblage, pointing out the parameters, issues, and limitations of the available techniques. While there have been many interesting and successful attempts to grow and assemble CNTs by various methods, this study focuses on the conventional growing techniques and proposes unconventional assembly methods. === by Lisandro E.
