Abstract

Abstract : MWCNTs self‐assemble into various homocentric rings in a thermo‐driven self‐assembly system . Closely packed and scatteredly packed MWCNT rings self‐assemble on a Si‐SiO2 substrate, whereas on a Au substrate smoothly packed MWCNT rings, rings with waviness, and rings with shuttle‐like holes are seen to self‐assemble. The dynamic self‐assembly process includes convection flow and swirling flow.
