Abstract
An assembly, such as for growing carbon nanotubes, includes a substrate including SiOand has a thickness of less than 500 μm. Further, the substrate is bendable and has a surface with non-flat or non-polished texture such that surface comprises raised and recessed features for receiving a coating, such as a catalyst. Carbon nanotubes may be anchored to and grow from the recessed features of the substrate.
