Abstract


The possibility of filling the cracks of self-organized pattern based on the silica films colloidal dispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), the method allows to increase the ratio between transparency and surface resistance of the SWCNT films through their structure and capillary packing. The possibility of controlling the cracking of the template to create an optimum geometry that provides high-quality reproducible structured SWCNTs films. Obtaining a sample of structured SWCNT films have transparency on 4-5% higher relative to continuous films of SWCNTs in a close surface resistance.
