摘要:
A system and method is provided for using sunlight to convert an atmospheric gas to an output product and capture that output product. A photocatalytic element is encapsulated within a chamber in which the chamber is light transmissive, and is substantially permeable to the atmospheric gas and substantially impermeable to the output product. The photocatalytic element may be composed of a photocatalytic composition, comprising a first constituent capable of capturing or binding an atmospheric gas, a second constituent capable of reducing the atmospheric gas using energy from the sunlight, and a third constituent adapted to absorb sunlight, all combined into a single polymer. A fourth constituent may be added that is hydrophobic or hydrophilic depending upon the nature of the other three combined constituents.
摘要:
A substrate for field emitters uses carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on a conductive substrate, the CNTs being erected essentially perpendicular to the substrate and aligned. In a method to transfer a CNT forest from a first substrate to a second substrate, the second substrate is coated with adhesive and the peaks (tips) of the CNTs on the first substrate are embedded in the uncurred adhesive on the second substrate. After the adhesive cures, the CNTs are removed from the first substrate with the peaks anchored in the cured adhesive on the second substrate.

摘要:
A hydrophobic surface coating, in particular for electronic and electrotechnical components, can be produced easily and inexpensively. For this purpose, particles and micro powders, hydrophobic particles in particular, are incorporated into the protective lacquer.

The assembly element is mechanically connected to two component parts of a device (2) at least once the device is assembled. A shape-memory metal element (6i, 7i), is provided as the assembly element, the metal element having a first form during assembly of the device (2) and a second form, which assures the mechanical connection between the two component parts (3a-3d, 4a-4c) of the device, when the device is assembled. The second form is memorized by the shape-memory metal element before assembly, by its shape-memory properties.
