Electromagnetic Induction Heating Bonding between Carbon Nanotubes and Metal Electrode

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper introduces an electromagnetic induction heating method which is demonstrated to be able to bond carbon nanotubes and metal electrodes. Dielectrophoresis method is taken to realize the parallel directional assembly between carbon nanotubes and metal electrode, and then localized induction heating is adopted to bond them. This technique offers a convenient and reliable way in the practical applications of carbon nanotube interconnection. The bonding principle and process are introduced, and the experiment results are also discussed. The results show that the bonding interface exhibits good contact and electrical property.
