Carbon Nanotubes as base Material for Fabrication of Gap Waveguide Components
Research article published in EUROSENSORS 2014, the 28th European Conference on Solid-State Transducers.
Research article published in EUROSENSORS 2014, the 28th European Conference on Solid-State Transducers. Abstract: Carbon nanotubes are being used here as a base material for rapid prototyping of a high frequency device. It has been implemented on a ridge gap resonator for 220–325 GHz which has previously been fabricated in Si. Microfabrication with Si has its benefits but it is time consuming when etching high ratio structures. CNT based structures offer a rapid and low cost turnover for prototyping. Measurements comparing the CNT-based structure to a previously made Si structure and simulations are presented. The unloaded Q‑values and the loss/mm are presented from simulations, Si-based resonator measurements and CNT-based resonator measurements.

With our carbon nanofibers (CNFs) fabrication technology, we develop advanced materials engineering solutions for use in water electrolysis and fuel cells for the hydrogen industry.
What is a carbon nanofiber (CNF)?
Carbon nanofibers is a supermaterial. It is stronger, more elastic, and lighter than steel. It conducts heat and electricity better than metals. And it can be used to thousandfold the surface of materials. Let’s take a closer look at these tiny fellows.
