ABSTRACT:
An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to functionalize carbon nanotubes in situ. A carbon nanotube (NT) array is grown or deposited on a substrate. The NT array is functionalized in situ with a polymer by partial thermal degradation of the polymer to form a NT structure. The functionalization of the NT structure is characterized. The functionalized NT structure is processed according to the characterized functionalization.
