This paper reports research in fabrication of cylindrical stents using carbon-infiltrated carbon nanotubes (CI-CNT), a material with good hemocompatibility. We demonstrate growth of CI-CNT forests in patterned lines on a 3 mm diameter stainless steel (SS) rod. Lines were patterned parallel, at 7°, at 45°, and perpendicular relative to the axis of the rod. Minimal cracking was seen in the parallel and angled lines. Significant cracking was seen in the perpendicular lines and we attempted to characterize the cracking in order to correlate it to width of the lines and height of the forest. No correlation was found but the average uncracked length was determined to be 414 μm with a standard deviation of 67 μm. We also demonstrate successful growth with minimal cracking of CI-CNT forests in a zig-zag type pattern in an effort to further the possibility of creating a coronary stent utilizing CI-CNT. Some of the patterned samples were also removed from the cylindrical substrate, resulting in free-standing, patterned, cylindrical patterns made from CI-CNT.

ABSTRACTThis paper investigates the effectiveness of different pretreatment methods applied on M50, M35, and W4 type of tool steel substrates for direct growth of carbon nanotubes. The pretreatments explored include treatment with sand paper polishing, nitric acid (HNO3) etching, and high temperature hydrogen gas treatment. Furthermore, in order to establish a correlation between the steel surface average roughness value and the carbon nanotube growth, surface topography of steel substrates created by mechanical polishing were measured before actual growth process. Grown carbon nanostructures were shown by SEM and TEM to be multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and vapor grown carbon nanofibers (VGCFs). It was found that under the same pretreatment conditions, even when the same roughness values were achieved and the same thermal chemical vapor deposition conditions were applied, grown nanostructures on different types of tool steel substrates showed dissimilarity.

This paper presents, for the first time, the process of growing a pattern of carbon nanotubes (CNT(s)) on 316L stainless steel. The data presented is preliminary and requires further investigation to detail the growth behaviors of CNTs on stainless steel in regards to producing a pattern. However, this article presents the viability of producing a pattern on a stainless steel surface that can be used in bio-surfacing and electronic applications, among others. The results show that producing a CNT pattern on stainless steel can be achieved in a similar manner to that of producing a CNT pattern on a silicon wafer, with some vital differences in the photolithography and growth processes. The results also show that long CNT growth can lead to partial overgrowth of the pattern.
