Rice University researchers overcome 3D printed carbon nanotube spaghetti with solvent “sauce”

Researchers from Rice University have developed a novel acid-based solvent that prevents the spaghetti effect that commonly occurs when carbon nanotubes tangle together. As well as being compatible with conventional manufacturing processes, the solvent has the potential to simplify the processing of carbon nanotubes to enable the scale-up of industrial 3D printing and roll-to-roll production […]
