    摘要: Improved mechanical properties of either clay or carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced polymer matrix nanocomposites are obtained by pre-treating nanoparticles and polymer pellets prior to a melt compounding process. The clay or CNTs are coated onto the surfaces of the polymer pellets by a milling process. The introduction of moisture into the mixture of the nanoparticles and the polymer pellets results in the nanoparticles more easily, firmly, and thoroughly coating onto the surfaces of the polymer pellets.

    摘要: A hydrogen sensor and/or switch fabricated from an array of nanowires or a nanoparticle thick film composed of metal or metal alloys. The sensor and/or switch demonstrates a wide operating temperature range and shortened response time due to fabrication materials and methods. The nanowires or nanoparticle thick films demonstrate an increase in conductivity in the presence of hydrogen.

    摘要: A method for forming cathodes for use in field emission devices using nanoparticles, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), is disclosed. The CNT layer comprises the electron emitting material on the surface of the cathode. Using the methods of the present invention, the density of the deposited CNTs may be modulated by forming emitter islands on the surface of the cathode. The size and distribution of the CNT emitter islands serve to optimize the field emission properties of the resulting CNT layer. In one embodiment, the CNT emitter islands are formed using a screen-printing deposition method. The present invention may be practiced without further process steps after deposition which activate or align the carbon nanotubes for field emission.

    摘要: The present invention is for a process of sensing chemicals with nanoparticles, particularly nanoparticles whose bandgap has been altered from that of their corresponding bulk material by reducing their particle size below their quantum confinement threshold. The photoluminescent properties of these nanoparticles can be altered as a result of interaction with their chemical environment. Thus, by carefully understanding how a particular chemical species alters the chemical environment and changes the photoluminescence of the nanoparticles, the identification of—and the screening for—a wide range of chemical species can be accomplished. Furthermore, in embodiments in which the chemical species of interest is a harmful material, detection and screening of said harmful material can be carried out in a pre-emptive manner.
