PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a practicable method for assessing the spinnability of a spinning dope, and to provide a spinnability assessing system to be used in the method. SOLUTION: This spinnability assessing system for an electrically conductive spinning dope includes a means for pulling up or pulling down part of the electrically conductive spinning dope, a means for controlling the temperature of the spinning dope, a means for controlling the ambient temperature of the dope part being pulled up or pulled down, and a means for measuring the electrical resistance profile concerning the length of the above dope part. This system works to assess the spinnability of the electrically conductive spinning dope based on the electrical resistance profile thus measured and the above-set temperature of the spinning dope and the ambient temperature of the above dope part.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electron emission source using carbon nanotubes and a polymer with lower voltage required for electron emission. SOLUTION: In this manufacturing method for the electron emission source emitting electrons by field emission, a positive electrode and a negative electrode connected with a power source are inserted in a solution containing a conductive polymer and the carbon nanotubes, and the conductive polymer and the carbon nanotube are deposited on the negative electrode to form the electron emission source. By adoption of this manufacturing method, a film in which the carbon nanotubes are dispersed in the conductive polymer can be obtained. In a manufacture process, the carbon nanotubes turn their longitudinal directions to the negative electrode to become easy to deposit. For this reason, the film wherein the carbon nanotubes are erected at right angles to the film of the conductive polymer can be obtained. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
