High packing density aligned arrays of semiconducting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are required for many electronics applications. Past work has shown that the accumulation CNTs at a water–solvent interface can drive array self-assembly. Previously, confining was large-area, macroscopic feature. Here, we report on CNT assembly microscopic water features. Water microdroplets formed 10–100 μm wide hydrophilic stripes patterned substrate. Exposure to dispersed in solvent accumulates...
Advancements in additive manufacturing and nuclear fuel allow of advanced heat transfer surfaces that provide exceptional thermal performance over classic (HTS). HTSs based on triply periodic minimal (TPMS) represent one class such designs have attracted attention as a potential configuration for fuel. Here, several electrically conductive heaters are manufactured at low cost from polymer filament convectively cooled. The ohmic volumetric heating serves useful proxy local coefficient is...
Abstract The assembly of a two-dimensional (2D) nematic liquid crystal at an interface between two liquids can be exploited to assemble densely packed and highly aligned arrays rod-like nanoparticles. This method is especially relevant creating semiconducting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for high-performance electronics. When dense solvent containing CNTs flows over less water subphase in confined channel, the locally nanoparticles align globally with flow direction transferred substrate. For...
