Abstract

This paper describes a fabrication method for carbon nanotube thin films on various substrates including PET (polyethylene terephthalate), glass, polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA), and silicon. The method combines a polydimethysiloxane (PDMS) based transfer-printing technique with vacuum filtration, and allows controlled deposition—and patterning if needed—of large area highly conducting carbon nanotube films with high homogeneity. In the visible and infrared range, the performance characteristics of fabricated films are comparable to that of indium tin oxide (ITO) on flexible substrates.
