Abstract
A conductive adapter for carrying relatively high current from a source to an external circuit without degradation is provided. The adapter includes a conducting member made from a conductive nanostructure-based material and having opposing ends. The adapter can also include a connector portion positioned on one end of the conducting member for maximizing a number of conductive nanostructures within the conducting member in contact with connector portion, so as to enable efficient conduction between a nanoscale environment and a traditional electrical and/or thermal circuit system. The adapter can further include a coupling mechanism situated between the conducting member and the connector portion, to provide a substantially uniform contact between the conductive nanostructure-based material in the conducting member and the connector portion. A method for making such a conductive adapter is also provided.
