    摘要: The present invention provides, in one embodiment, a nanostructured article. In an embodiment, the nanostructured article includes a first material made from a plurality of intermingled nanotubes placed on top of one another to form a continuous structure with sufficient structural integrity to be handled. The nanostructured article can also include a second material made from a plurality of nanotubes forming a layer situated on a surface of the first material. The second material, in an embodiment, has a nanotube density lower than the nanotube density of the first material. The nanostructured article further a layer of ordered pyrolytic carbon between the first material and the second material to enhance the bond and structural integrity between the first material and the second material, as well as enhancing the electrical and thermal conductivity between the first and second materials. A process for forming the nanostructured article is also provided.

    摘要: A nanotube-based insulator is provided having thermal insulating properties. The insulator can include a plurality of nanotube sheets stacked on top of one another. Each nanotube sheet can be defined by a plurality of carbon nanotubes. The plurality of carbon nanotubes can be configured so as to decrease normal-to-plane thermal conductivity while permitting in-plane thermal conductivity. A plurality of spacers can be situated between adjacent nanotube sheets so as to reduce interlayer contact between the nanotubes in each sheet. The plurality of spacers can be ceramic or alumina dots or provided by texturing the nanotube sheets.

    摘要: An intumescent nanostructured material for thermal protection comprising a member including a plurality of nanostructured materials, and an intumescent material associated with the member and configured to react in the presence of a heat source to form a foam for thermally insulating the member from the heat source. The member may be a non-woven sheet, a woven sheet, a yarn, or a network, and may be configured to conduct thermal energy away from a heat source. A solution comprising a plurality of nanostructured materials, an intumescent material, and a solvent, wherein the solution has a viscosity suitable for coating or spraying onto a surface of a substrate. The solution may have a viscosity of about 3000 centipoise to about 6000 centipoise, and possibly less than about 1000 centipoise. The solution, when dried on the substrate, may form a thermally-protective coating on the substrate.
