GECKO INSPIRES DRY-PRINTING OF NANOTUBE PATTERNS ON SURFACES.

The article discusses how researchers at Rice University mimick the way a gecko sticks to any surface in order to create a way for dry-printing of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) patterns on surfaces. It mentions that researchers discovered ways to print patters of moderately aligned nanotubes from solutions where carbon nanotubes are dispersed. Rice faculty Robert Hauge and graduate student Cary Pint discuss how they discovered ways to transfer carbon nanotubes to other surfaces.
