Fabrication and Characterization of an Upside-Down Carbon Nanotube Microelectrode Array

An active, flexible carbon nanotube microelectrode array for recording electrocorticograms.

A variety of microelectrode arrays (MEAs) has been developed for monitoring intra-cortical neural activity at a high spatio-temporal resolution, opening a promising future for brain research and neural prostheses. However, most MEAs are based on metal electrodes on rigid substrates, and the intra-cortical implantation normally causes neural damage and immune responses that impede long-term reco...

Automated circuit fabrication and direct characterization of carbon nanotube vibrations

Since their discovery, carbon nanotubes have fascinated many researchers due to their unprecedented properties. However, a major drawback in utilizing carbon nanotubes for practical applications is the difficulty in positioning or growing them at specific locations. Here we present a simple, rapid, non-invasive and scalable technique that enables optical imaging of carbon nanotubes. The carbon ...

Photoacoustic characterization of carbon nanotube array thermal interfaces

This work describes an experimental study of thermal conductance across multiwalled carbon nanotube CNT array interfaces, one sided Si-CNT-Ag and two sided Si-CNT-CNT-Cu , using a photoacoustic technique PA . Well-anchored, dense, and vertically oriented multiwalled CNT arrays have been directly synthesized on Si wafers and pure Cu sheets using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. With th...
