Abstract
An apparatus, comprising a film (103) comprising a network of conductive and/or semi-conductive high aspect ratio molecular structures is presented. The apparatus also comprises a frame (102) arranged to support the film (103) at least at least two support positions so that a free-standing region (101) of the film (103) extends between the at least two support positions. The two or more electrical contact areas electrically coupled to the film (103), and these electrical contact areas are arranged to pass electric charge across the free-standing region (101) of the film (103) at a current between 0.01 and 10 amperes.
Claims16
An apparatus, comprising:
- a thin film comprising a network of conductive and/or semi-conductive high aspect ratio molecular structures (HARM-structures), wherein the thin film has a thickness between 1 nanometer and 10 micrometers,
- a frame arranged to support the thin film in at least two support positions so that a freestanding region of the thin film extends between the at least two support positions, two or more electrical contact areas electrically coupled to the thin film,
- wherein the two or more electrical contact areas are arranged and configured to pass electric charge across an entirety of the free-standing region of the thin film at a current between 0.01 and 10 amperes to provide magnetic attraction between the HARM-structures in the network, increasing tension and preventing sagging in the thin film.
