Abstract
A process is disclosed for removing impurities from a carbon nanotube structure and then orienting the nanotubes within the structure. The process may use environmentally benign materials and minimize damage to the carbon nanotubes. The process may provide a cost-effective way to manufacture nanomaterials based macroscopic parts and components, whose properties approach to those of the individual nanoparticles.
