Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods for transferring carbon nanotubes on a hydrogel scaffold. Carbon nanotubes are formed on a substrate and directly transferred onto a hydrogel surface. Carbon nanotubes transferred according to the present disclosure can be used in tissue engineering applications and electrode coating applications.
Claims12
A method for transferring a carbon nanotube, the method comprising:
- providing a substrate;
- preparing a carbon nanotube on the substrate to prepare a carbon nanotube-coated substrate;
- applying a hydrogel precursor solution to the carbon nanotube-coated substrate;
- applying a polymeric film to the hydrogel precursor solution;
- polymerizing the hydrogel precursor solution to form a hydrogel;
- and
- removing the hydrogel from the substrate, wherein the hydrogel comprises the carbon nanotube, using the polymeric film to transfer the carbon nanotube.
