Patent US7510695B2. issued 2009-03-31. Retrieved from https://hdl.handle.net/1911/79986.https://hdl.handle.net/1911/79986This invention relates generally to forming a patterned array of fullerene nanotubes. In one embodiment, a nanoscale array of microwells is provided on a substrate; a metal catalyst is deposited in each microwells; and a stream of hydrocarbon or CO feedstock gas is directed at the substrate under conditions that effect growth of fullerene nanotubes from each microwell.48 ppengUtility patentUS7510695B2
