Polymer‐Mediated Alignment of Carbon Nanotubes under High Magnetic Fields

Abstract

Alignment of single‐walled carbon nanotubes in a bulk epoxy matrix (see Figure) has been achieved through the processing of the composite inside a high magnetic field (15–25 T). The self‐organization of the epoxy chains inside the magnetic field mediated the reorientation process of the single‐walled carbon nanotubes. The alignment becomes more pronounced as a function of the magnetic field strength.
