Abstract
A bonding method utilizing carbon nanotubes provides first and second objects to be bonded and a carbon nanotube structure. The carbon nanotube structure comprises a super-aligned carbon nanotube film comprising carbon nanotubes, the carbon nanotubes extending substantially along a same direction. The carbon nanotube structure is laid on surface of first object and surface of second object is pressed onto the carbon nanotube structure. Pressure being applied to the first object and the second object bonds the two together.
