Abstract: A magnetic field was applied to multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) decorated with Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles while being spray coated on copper substrates to obtain a preferred orientation. The Fe₃O₄-MWNTs hybrid materials were aligned vertical or horizontal on the copper substrate and their electrical and thermal transport properties were investigated. The electrical and thermal transport properties showed that the vertical alignment of Fe₃O₄-MWNTs on the copper substrate was achieved, while the horizontal alignment was less successful.
