## Abstract

Material compositions are provided that may comprise, for example, a vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT) array, a conductive layer, and a carbon interlayer coupling the VACNT array to the conductive layer. Methods of manufacturing are provided. Such methods may comprise, for example, providing a VACNT array, providing a conductive layer, and bonding the VACNT array to the conductive layer via a carbon interlayer.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A material composition, comprising:
a vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT) array;
a conductive layer; and
a carbon interlayer coupling the VACNT array to the conductive layer.
