Description
As society advances to desire smaller, faster, and cheaper electronics along with stronger materials, the search for novel materials continues. Thin films made from single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) offer a possible solution to many of the challenges that materials scientists currently face. Here, a methodology for studying the deformation of thin SWCNT films is investigated during their processing for use in applications such as photovoltaic devices. A variety of methods for manipulating and visualizing these thin films are discussed, along with the setbacks encountered along the path to improving process characterization.
