“…Nevertheless, when it comes to the preparation of CNT films/coatings in a controlled manner a vast experience is already available in macroscopic as well as in patterned substrates. Authors usually choose between Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) [14][15][16] and Electrophoretic Deposition (EPD) [17,18]. CVD generates dense, vertically aligned forests of CNTs using an organic carbon source, a metallic catalytic seed and high temperatures in an inert atmosphere.…”

Preparation of homogeneous CNT coatings in insulating silica capillary tubes is carried out by an innovative electrochemically-assisted method in which the driving force for the deposition is the change in pH inside the confined space between the inner electrode and the capillary walls. This method represents a great advancement in the development of CNT coatings following a simple, cost-effective methodology.

The notion of micromachines made up of miniature gears and motors may seem like a fairy tale. In 1959, Richard Feynman delivered a lecture entitled “There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom,” a bold prediction of what was to come in the future, where one could fit the entire Encyclopaedia Britannica onto the head of a pin or use ions focused through a microscope lens in reverse to etch away silica to create patterns on a submicron scale. In retrospect, Feynman's hypotheses were amazingly accurate. He was describing the techniques of microlithography and the manipulation of atoms by scanning tunneling electron microscopy, methods that are commonplace today. Advances in biochemistry have revealed the enormous complexity of “simple” organisms, leading one to conclude that “micromachines” (of a complexity that a visionary giant such as Feynman had foreseen) have long been operating quite happily without any assistance from chemists!
