DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A conductive adapter (30) comprises a conducting element (31) made from a conductive nanostructure-based material and having opposing ends; and a connector portion (32) positioned on one end of the conducting element for maximizing a number of conductive nanostructures within the conducting element 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 conducting element includes one of wires, yarns, tapes, ribbons, or sheets made from nanotubes. The nanotubes is made from one of carbon, copper, silver, boron, boron-nitride, MoS2 and/or similar compounds. The conducting element includes a graphite material. The connector portion is made from one of copper, aluminum, gold, silver, silver coated copper, cadmium, nickel, tin, bismuth, arsenic, alloys of these metals, boron, boron nitride, glassy carbon, ceramics, silicon, silicon compounds, and/or gallium arsenic or other materials capable of being electrically and/or thermally conductive. The connector portion is deposited on at least on of the opposing ends of the conducting element; or is electroplated on each of the opposing ends of the conducting element. The deposited connector portion is made from one of gold, silver, nickel, aluminum, copper, bismuth, tin, zinc, cadmium, tin-nickel alloy, copper alloy, tin-zinc alloy, bismuth-copper alloy, cadmium-nickel alloy and/or other conductive metals or their alloys. The conducting element includes a pattern to permit extension of the conducting element in at least one direction. The adapter further includes a coupling mechanism between the conducting element and the connector portion to provide a uniform contact between conductive nanostructure-based material in the conducting element and the connector portion. The coupling mechanism is made from a glassy carbon material. The glassy carbon material is generated from a precursor material including one of furfuryl alcohol, RESOL resin (i.e. catalyzed alkyl-phenyl formaldehyde), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) or other liquid resin or materials capable of forming a glassy carbon material. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for preparation of conductive adapter involving: providing a conducting element made from nanostructure-based material and a connector portion to which the conducting element may be joined; placing, at a junction between the conducting element and the connector portion, a glassy carbon precursor material; and heating the junction to pyrolyze the glassy carbon precursor to form a glassy carbon material capable of maximizing a number of conductive nanostructures within the conducting element in contact with connector portion, so as to enhance efficiency of conductivity; or providing a conducting element made from a nanostructure-based material and having opposing ends; and depositing a connector portion on at least one end of the conducting element for maximizing number of conductive nanostructures within the conducting element in contact with connector portion, so as to enable efficient conduction between a nanoscale environment and a traditional electrical and/or thermal circuit system.
