Abstract
A drawing apparatus includes a support for supporting a part of a grown form and a drive unit for causing a relative movement of the support and the grown form to draw an extended form from the grown form. The support performs a double support in which, after a predetermined length of the extended form is drawn, at least one of a predetermined position of the extended form or a part of the grown form continuous with the extended form is again supported.
Claims5
A drawing apparatus for drawing an extended form from a 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 to draw the extended form from the grown form,
- wherein the support is configured to perform a double support in which, after a predetermined length of the extended form is drawn, the support again supports at least one of a predetermined position of the extended form or a part of the grown form continuous with the extended form.
A method of drawing an extended form from a grown form produced by growing carbon nanotubes, the method comprising:
- supporting a part of the grown form with a support;
- and
- causing a relative movement of the support and the grown form to draw the extended form from the grown form,
- wherein, in supporting the part of the grown form, a double support is performed, in which, after a predetermined length of the extended form is drawn, at least one of a predetermined position of the extended form or a part of the grown form continuous with the extended form is again supported.
