Synthesis and electroconductivity of epoxy/aligned CNTs composites

► An efficient method is described of growing of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VANTs). ► A method epoxy resin/VANTs (ER/VANTs) is described. ► A press-and-draw method to reorient VANTs into an array of horizontally aligned carbon nanotubes (HANTs) in the liquid composite precursor is described. ► High electrical conductivities in ER/VANTs and in ER/HANTs are obtained.
