By David L. Chandler -<br><br>A team of researchers has created a new way of manufacturing microstructured surfaces that have novel three-dimensional textures. These surfaces, made by self-assembly of carbon nanotubes, could exhibit a variety of useful properties — including controllable mechanical stiffness and strength, or the ability to repel water in a certain direction.<br><br><a href="https://newsoffice.mit.edu/2014/new-way-to-make-microstructured-surfaces-0729">READ MORE ON MIT NEWS</a>
Self-assembling carbon nanotubes can be directly controlled to form 3D microstructures
