Facile Synthesis of Highly Aligned Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes from Polymer Precursors

We report a facile one-step approach which involves no flammable gas, no catalyst, and no in situ polymerization for the preparation of well-aligned carbon nanotube array. A polymer precursor is placed on top of an anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane containing regular nanopore arrays, and slow h...
