Overview

The NSF-funded Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center for High-rate Nanomanufacturing is a collaborative effort with core research partners linked above. Research falls into three categories: 1) Large scale directed assembly & transfer, 2) Environmental health & safety, and 3) Regulatory & ethical issues. Education & outreach programming is linked here and at partner institutions. Use the navigation bar to the left to browse our news, events, projects, and publications in each area.

Highlights

Organized 2-D and 3-D SWCNT-Polymer Hybrid Architectures

Institutions: Northeastern University, University of Massachusetts Lowell, University of New Hampshire

Prof. Yung Joon Jung developed a new class of highly organized SWCNTs network-polymer hybrid structures, by incorporating horizontally and vertically aligned SWCNTs in desired locations, orientations and dimensions on/inside flexible polymer matrices forming mechanically and electrically robust unique 2-D and 3-D architectures that have not been previously demonstrated. A combined lateral SWCNTs micro-lines and vertical SWCNTs flexible device was demonstrated with good electrical conductivity and low junction resistance, representing an unprecedented control over growth, assembly, and transfer processes of SWCNTs.
