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.
Claims19
An apparatus, comprising:
- a film comprising a network of conductive and/or semi-conductive high aspect ratio molecular structures, HARM-structures,
- a frame arranged to support the film in at least two support positions so that a free-standing region of the film extends between the at least two support positions,
- two or more electrical contact areas electrically coupled to the film,
- wherein the two or more electrical contact areas are arranged to pass electric charge across the free-standing region of the film at a current between 0.01 and 10 amperes.
A method for maintaining a free-standing region of a film comprising a network of HARM-structures, the method comprising:
- electrically coupling the film to two or more electrodes at two or more peripheral locations of the film, and
- passing electric charge across the free-standing region of the film at a current between 0.01 and 10 Amperes.
