High‐aspect‐ratio vertically aligned carbon nanofibers are functionally transferred from a growth substrate suitable for high‐temperature processing to a substrate with electronic functionality. Nanofiber arrays are partially embedded within a polymer membrane that is then separated from the growth substrate and transferred to a new substrate that provides electrical interfacing to discrete nanofiber elements (see figure).
