Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for uniform growth of nanostructures such as nanotubes (e.g., carbon nanotubes) on a surface of a substrate, in which long axes of the nanostructures may be substantially aligned.SOLUTION: The nanostructures may be further processed for use in various applications, such as composite materials. For example, a set of aligned nanostructures may be formed and transferred, either in bulk or to another surface, to another material to enhance the properties of the material. In some cases, the nanostructures may enhance the mechanical properties of a material, for example, providing mechanical reinforcement at an interface between two materials or plies. In some cases, the nanostructures may enhance thermal and/or electronic properties of a material. The present invention also provides systems and methods for growth of nanostructures, including batch processes and continuous processes.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】ナノ構造の長軸が実質的に整列され得る、基板の表面にナノチューブ（例えば、カーボンナノチューブ）等のナノ構造を均一に成長させるための方法を提供する。【解決手段】ナノ構造は、複合材料等の種種の用途に使用するためにさらに処理できる。例えば、一組の整列したナノ構造は、材料の特性を強化するために、バルク形成または別の表面に形成され、別の材料へ転写できる。場合によっては、ナノ構造は、例えば、２つの材料または層の間にある界面に機械的補強を与える等、材料の機械的性質を強化できる。場合によっては、ナノ構造は、材料の温度特性および／または電子特性を強化できる。本発明は、バッチ処理および連続処理を含む、ナノ構造を成長させるためのシステムおよび方法も提供する。【選択図】図６
