摘要
Thin films of carbon nanotubes were prepared by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method. The nanotubes films were characterized by SEM and were found that the microstructure of the films was greatly affected by the composition of solvent used in EPD processing. The electrical surface resistance of the EPD films was relatively large, which possibly resulted from the hydrogen adsorption at the nanotubes walls during deposition process.
