Abstract
A method for making a carbon nanotube structure includes providing a substitute substrate, a growing substrate, and a carbon nanotube array, the carbon nanotube array grown on the growing substrate. A carbon nanotube structure can be drawn from the carbon nanotube array. The carbon nanotube structure includes carbon nanotube segments joined end-to-end. The carbon nanotube array is transferred from the growing substrate onto the substitute substrate. During transfer, structural integrity of the carbon nanotube array is maintained. The carbon nanotube structure is drawn from the carbon nanotube array transferred onto the substitute substrate.
