Micro-Mechanical Bending (M2 B) method for Carbon Nanotube (CNT) based sensor fabrication

Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs forest) array is known to be the darkest material on earth. However, post processing of VACNTs array by micro mechanical bending (M2B) causes the individual CNT to be bent, flattened and reflective. This interesting change in the optical property of C...
