title: Dual porosity single-walled carbon nanotube material.
abstract: We present a dual porosity CNT material with a seamless connection between highly porous aligned nanotubes and lowly porous closely packed nanotubes by using capillary action of liquids. Various approaches were developed to fabricate diverse structures using toothpicks, liquid thin films, bubbles, vapors, and superink jet printing. The dual porosity material showed low wear and was useful as a sliding electrical contact.
