Hierarchical and Multifunctional Three‐Dimensional Network of Carbon Nanotubes for Microfluidic Applications

Three-Dimensional network of carbon nanotubes: The 3D network of CNTs have hierarchical structures comprised of interconnected SWNTs between Si pillars in microfluidic channels. The Al(2)O(3) coated 3D networks were used for size different nanoparticles filtration and streptavidin capturing in very diluted solution. The 3D network of SWNTs systems will provide a robust multifuncitonal platform for a variety of biomedical and environmental applications.
