    This document summarizes two journal articles about carbon nanotube films. The first article tests the adhesion of carbon nanotube films coated on transparent substrates using a peel test with Scotch tape. It finds adhesion depends on film thickness and substrate surface roughness. The second patent discusses using polymer binders to coat carbon nanotube networks for protection. It proposes a "sandwich" structure with polymer layers above and below the nanotube layer for better protection, moisture resistance and adhesion while maintaining conductivity.

    Journal: Adhesion test of carbon nanotube film coated onto transparent conducting substrate

    Authors: Sang Woon Lee et al. (2010)

    Adhesion of carbon nanotube films coated on


    transparent substrate was tested mainly using
    Scotch tape by peel off method. Now they
    propose new adhesion factor which is defined by
    transmittance before and after detachment.
    Next, to study whether the adhesion strongly
    Objective/Abstract depends on film thickness and surface roughness
    of substrate.

    Two substrates were chosen to test the effect of


    surface roughness: PET and PEN - temperature
    was maintained at 100 oC (spraying). Film was
    peeled using ScotchTM tape (3M Magic Tape
    810D). The tape was adhered to the film by
    rubbing the entire surface area using constant
    pressure. Influence of the variance in the rubbing
    Procedure pressure and detachment speed was negligible in
    evaluating adhesion factor of the film.

    With Increasing number of taping for adhesion,


    the film thickness decreases, and the sheet
    conductance decreases similarly.

    Surface roughness varied by substrate and


    affected adhesion factors. Differences observed
    Results/Conclusion in the CNT film adhesion are due to the
    mechanical interlocking of nanotubes.

    Adhesion of Tuball Coat IPA and H20 on PE can be


    tested using same method (number of taping and
    using Scotch tape).
    Will measure the
    film thickness after adhesion.
    Remarks for project
    So far only SR was
    checked after adhesion which the conductance
    decreased.
    Patent US20050209392A1 Polymer binders for flexible and transparent coating containing CNT
    Authors: Luo et al. (2005)

    Polymer binders are applied to the CNT network


    coating having an open Structure to
    provide protection through infiltration. This
    provides for the enhancement of properties such
    as moisture resistance, thermal resistance,
    abrasion resistance and interfacial adhesion. Will
    Objective/Abstract look through polymer binder as single/multiple
    layers as basecoat underneat or topcoat of CNT.

    Invention

    Selected polymer binder is applied first,


    following CNT. Bare CNT exposed to outer
    surface to ensure electrical connection.
    High defree of penetration of CNT layer into
    thermoset binder is required

    Polymer applied after CNT coated.


    Thermplastic directly applied will thermoset
    polymer need to be cured. Binder layer is
    expected to diffuse into CNT network,
    provide protection from mechanical damage
    and moisture infiltration while expose CNT
    surface for conductivity.
    Better protection compared to basecoat.

    Sandwich' structure preferred for better


    protection and higher adhesion.

    - Proper selection in binder concentration,


    solution immersion time, coating speed,
    drying temperature and time and other
    coating parameter can be used to adjust the
    properties by changing coating thickness.

    - Binder coating thicknesss can be adjusted by


    changing polymer binder concentration
    during coating process.

    - Binder in patent : Acrylic emulsion

    For now, Tuball is bar down using wire bar coater


    with thickness of 4 um. So the dry thickness on
    film maybe 1 um or lesser. Single layer of CNT is
    bar down right now. Will increase
    coating thickness by 2 times bar down or increase
    solid content of polymer binder. Increased to 3-4
    Remarks for project um dry thickness on film.
