Abstract

We have demonstrated that the infiltration of temperature-responsive polymers (e.g., PNIPAAm) into vertically-aligned carbon nanotube forests created synergetic effects, which provided the basis for the development of smart nanocomposite films with temperature-induced self-cleaning and/or controlled release capabilities.
