| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed new methods to control the flow induced orderly string-like structures (Helical Band; HB) in carbon nanotube (CNT) dispersions under alternating simple shear flows applied. Moreover, functional materials with the HB structures were experimentally produced and the properties and effectivities of the materials were examined. In particular, it was clarified that the anisotropic conductivity of the material was controlled with the viscosity of carrier liquids, volume fraction of the CNT or multistep shear application. Higher anisotropic properties in electric conductivity was obtained when the low shear rate flow was applied after high shear rate pre-flow.
