Studies have shown that the procedure used has a high success rate of growing CNTs on carbon fabrics. Above is a sample of carbon fabric “furry” with CNTs.

Carbon fabric functionalized with CNTs demonstrates superior performance to unprocessed fabrics in stress tests.

Growth that appeared on the fabric samples isn’t likely to be CNTs.
