摘要： The present invention is directed toward methods of attaching or grafting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to silicon or other surfaces, wherein such attaching or grafting occurs via functional groups on either or both of the CNTs and silicon surface. The present invention is also directed to the novel compositions produced by such methods. Previous work by Applicants has demonstrated covalent attachment of arenes via aryldiazonium salts to Si (hydride passivated single crystal or poly Si; or , p-doped, n-doped or intrinsic), GaAs, and Pd surfaces. In the case of Si, this provides a direct arene-Si bond with no intervening oxide. Applicants have also reported on the use of aryldiazonium salts for the direct covalent linkage of arenes to single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) where the nanotubes can exist either as bundles or individual structures (when surfactant-wrapped). In some embodiments, the present invention is directed to a merger of these two technologies to afford the covalent attachment of individualized (unroped) SWNTs to Si surfaces.

摘要： A low-cost and facile method of purifying fullerenes to obtain a preparation enriched in a fullerene of selected molecular weight using activated carbon involves adding a fullerene mixture to the top end of a column comprising activated carbon, passing a solvent in which the selected molecular weight fullerene is soluble through the column, and recovering a fraction enriched in the selected molecular weight fullerene from the bottom end of the column. In addition to activated carbon, the column may further comprise silica gel, diatomaceous earth, or other materials which aid in column packing and eluent flow.

摘要： Embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to methods of forming a polymer composite by exposing a solution that includes nanomaterials (e.g., functionalized graphene nanoribbons) and cross-linkable polymer components (e.g., thermoset polymers and monomers) to a microwave source, where the exposing results in the curing of the cross-linkable polymer component in the presence of the nanomaterial to form the polymer composite. The solution may be exposed to a microwave source in a geological formation such that the formed polymer composite becomes embedded with the geological formation and thereby enhances the stability of the geological formation. Additional embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to the aforementioned polymer composites.

The electronic devices are two-terminal devices containing a first electrical contact and a second electrical contact in which at least one of the first electrical contact or the second electrical contact is deposed on a substrate to define a gap region therebetween. A switching layer containing a switchably conductive silicon oxide resides in the gap region between the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact.
