An Experimental Approach to the Percolation of Sticky Nanotubes
TL;DR: By using a system made of carbon nanotubes in an aqueous surfactant solution, very small attraction can markedly lower the percolation threshold and explain the large variability of experimental results in the literature dealing with the electrical behavior of composites loaded with conducting rods.

Sangwook Lee,Dong Su Lee,R. E. Morjan,Sung Ho Jhang,M. Sveningsson,Oleg Nerushev,Yung Woo Park,Eleanor E. B. Campbell +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, three-terminal nanorelay structures were fabricated with multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), and the nanotube relays were deflected by applying a gate voltage until contact (mechanical and/or electrical) was made with a drain electrode, thus closing the circuit.
