Abstract
The present invention provides a method for further uniformly drawing out a carbon nanotube web while inhibiting mixing of edge scraps. A carbon nanotube web is drawn out from a carbon nanotube array-in a state in which abutting members which abut on the carbon nanotube array are provided on respective outer sides of both edges of a boundary region between the carbon nanotube array and the carbon nanotube web.
Claims12
A method for drawing a web of carbon nanotubes out from an array of carbon nanotubes, said method comprising:
- drawing the web out from the array in a state in which abutting members which abut on the array are provided on respective outer sides of both edges of a boundary region between the array and the web.
(canceled)
A drawing device that draws a web of carbon nanotubes out from an array of carbon nanotubes, said drawing device comprising:
- a pulling section that pulls the web so as to draw the web out from the array;
- and
- abutting members which abut on the array on respective outer sides of both edges of a boundary region between the array and the web.
