Abstract
A drawing apparatus includes a support for supporting a part of the grown form and a drive unit for causing a relative movement of the support and the grown form. The support includes a plurality of support units arranged in a width direction of the grown form orthogonal to a drawing direction of a plurality of extended forms, the plurality of support drawing the plurality of extended forms from the single grown form.
Claims5
A drawing apparatus for drawing a plurality of extended forms from a single grown form produced by growing carbon nanotubes, the drawing apparatus comprising:
- a support configured to support a part of the grown form;
- and
- a drive unit configured to cause a relative movement of the support and the grown form,
- wherein the support comprises a plurality of support units arranged in a width direction of the grown form orthogonal to a drawing direction of the extended form, the plurality of support units drawing the plurality of extended forms from the single grown form.
The drawing apparatus according to claim I, wherein the support comprises an assist unit configured to assist the drawing of the plurality of extended forms so that the plurality of extended forms to be drawn out do not contact each other.
A method of drawing a plurality of extended forms from a single grown form produced by growing carbon nanotubes, the method comprising:
- supporting a part of the grown form with a plurality of support units arranged in a width direction of the grown form orthogonal to a drawing direction of the extended forms;
- and
- causing a relative movement of the plurality of support units and the grown form to draw the plurality of extended forms from the single grown form.
