Abstract: A solution is provided comprising boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) in a liquid solvent. An optical waveguide, such as an optical fiber, is contacted with the solution so as to form a layer of the solution supported on at least a portion of the optical waveguide. The liquid solvent is then removed from the layer of the solution supported on the optical waveguide in order to form a coating of the BNNTs on the optical waveguide. Further provided is a BNNT coated optical waveguide for use as a sensor.

Abstract: A stretchable multiple-layer nanocomposite material is provided and includes at least a nanocomposite material layer comprising a network of nanotubes modified with an elastomeric polymer; and at least one additional layer laminated with the nanocomposite material layer. The number of nanocomposite layers and additional layers, the nature and composition thereof, may be varied in a surface direction and/or a thickness direction so as to provide tailored mechanical and physico-chemical properties to a resulting skin that can be used to produce morphing or deployable structures.

Abstract: Compounds are attached to carbon nanotubes (CNT) by a process which comprises: subjecting surface treated CNTs which have been treated to induce negatively charged surface groups thereon, to nucleophilic substitution reaction with a compound carrying a functional group capable of reacting with the negatively charged groups on the CNT surface, whereby the compound chemically bonds to the CNT. The surface CNT treatment may be reduction. The compounds which are bonded to the CNT may be epoxy resins, bonded directly or through a spacer group. Bi-functional CNTs, grafted to both epoxy resins and other polymers such as polystyrene, are also made by this process.

Abstract: A value inheritance widget system includes a display device including a user interface, and a value impact engine coupled to the display device. The value impact engine is configured to display at least one widget on a user interface. The widget includes a value. The value comprises an inherited value. The value impact engine is further configured to display information of a scope of inheritance of the value before user interaction with the widget. The information of the scope of inheritance of the value includes a number of inheritance levels of the value and a number of objects impacted by a change to the value. The value impact engine is further configured to receive a user input changing the value of the widget and change the value of the widget and the objects in response to receiving the user input.

Abstract translation: 价值继承小部件系统包括包括用户界面的显示设备和耦合到显示设备的价值冲击引擎。 价值冲击引擎被配置为在用户界面上显示至少一个小部件。 小部件包含一个值。 该值包含一个继承的值。 价值冲击引擎还被配置为在用户与微件之间的交互之前显示该值继承的范围的信息。 该值的继承范围的信息包括多个继承级别的值和受数值变化影响的对象数量。 值冲击引擎还被配置为接收改变窗口小部件的值的用户输入，并且响应于接收到用户输入而改变窗口小部件和对象的值。
