Abstract

When the size and spacing of catalyst nanoparticles are well controlled on a substrate, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can grow and assemble into a unique, vertically aligned structure frequently called a “forest.” Long, aligned, and pure CNTs can easily be synthesized in simple or highly complex configurations. First reported in 1996, CNT forests have been shown to be unique and useful forms of CNTs, as they have spurred the development of novel processes and applications and in addition, served as test beds for investigations into CNT growth mechanisms. This article provides an overview of two decades of research in this area.
