Abstract
A method for the production of a fibrous network-substrate component includes the steps of providing a network of fibrous material (1) on a preliminary substrate (2) by filtering high aspect ratio molecular structures (HARM-structures) from gas flow, placing the network of fibrous material (1) on the preliminary substrate (2) in proximity to a secondary substrate (3), applying a force to the network of fibrous material (1) to preferably attract the network of fibrous material (1) from the preliminary substrate (2) to the secondary substrate (3) in order to transfer the network of fibrous material (1) from the preliminary substrate (2) to the secondary substrate (3), and removing the preliminary substrate (2) from the network of fibrous material (1).
