摘要:
A carbon-containing refractory is provided, which can improve the thermal shock resistance, the abrasion resistance, and the corrosion resistance without degrading the oxidation resistance. In a carbon-containing refractory composed of a refractory aggregate, a carbon based raw material, and a carbon bond connecting between the refractory aggregate or the carbon based raw material, transition metal-containing nanoparticles having particle diameters of 1,000 nm or less and containing a transition metal are contained in the above-described carbon bond while being dispersed. When the carbon-containing refractory is heat-treated, flexible structures of carbon fiber-shaped textures having diameters of 50 nm or less are formed in the inside of a carbon bond and, thereby, an increase in strength, a reduction in modulus of elasticity, and a reduction in thermal expansion coefficient are facilitated. Therefore, a carbon-containing refractory exhibiting high thermal shock resistance, high abrasion resistance, and high corrosion resistance are provided.

Proppants having added functional properties are provided, as are methods that use the proppants to track and trace the characteristics of a fracture in a geologic formation. Information obtained by the methods can be used to design a fracturing job, to increase conductivity in the fracture, and to enhance oil and gas recovery from the geologic formation. The functionalized proppants can be detected by a variety of methods utilizing, for example, an airborne magnetometer survey, ground penetrating radar, a high resolution accelerometer, a geophone, nuclear magnetic resonance, ultra-sound, impedance measurements, piezoelectric activity, radioactivity, and the like. Methods of mapping a subterranean formation are also provided and use the functionalized proppants to detect characteristics of the formation.

Disclosed is a composite material comprising such a carbon fiber structure that can be blended into a composite material with a relatively high content to improve the physical properties (e.g., electrical properties, mechanical properties, thermal properties) of the composite material. The composite material comprises: (a) a carbon fiber structure which has a three-dimensional network structure formed with carbon fibers having an outer diameter of 15 to 100 nm and has a particulate part that binds up the carbon fibers in such a state where the carbon fibers are extended from the particulate part, wherein the particulate part is formed in the growing process of the carbon fibers; and (b) a material which is different from the carbon fiber structure. In the composite material, the carbon fiber structure is contained in an amount ranging from 30 to 100% by mass exclusive based on the total amount of the composite material.

The present invention contemplates a variety of methods and techniques for fabricating an improved carbon nanotube (CNT) device such as an AFM probe. A CNT is first formed on a desired location such as a substrate. The CNT and substrate are then covered with a protective layer through a CVD or other suitable process. Then a length of the CNT is exposed through etching or other suitable process, the exposed length being formed to a length suitable for a desired application for the CNT device.

A plurality of carbide, such as silicon carbide, tungsten carbide, etc., nanofibrils predominantly having diameters substantially less than about 100 nm and a method for making such carbide nanofibrils. The method includes the steps of: heating a plurality of carbon nanotubes or nanofibrils predominantly having diameters less than about 50 nm in a reaction chamber in the presence of a gas of the form Q n A m , where Q is a metal capable of forming a carbide, A is an element or radical and n and m are integers necessary to satisfy valences, such as, for example silicon monoxide, and an inert gas in a reaction vessel to a temperature substantially less than 1700 C but sufficently high to cause substantial reaction of the metal in the gas with the carbon of said carbon nanotubes or nanofibrils to form, in situ, solid carbide nanofibrils, the temperature being sufficiently low to prevent substantial fusing together of individidual ones of said carbide nanofibrils, removing at least a portion of A-based gas from said reaction chamber as said reaction progresses, and maintaining said temperature until substantially all the carbon of said nanotubes or nanofibrils has been converted into Q-based carbide.
