摘要:
The present invention relates to a surface of a substrate, or the substrate itself, exhibiting superhydrophobic characteristics when treated with a formulation comprising a hydrophobic component, nano-structured particles and water. The superhydrophobicity can be applied either over the entire surface, patterned throughout or on the substrate material, and/or directly penetrated through the z-directional thickness of the substrate material.

摘要:
A polymeric composition including a blend of poly(vinylidine fluoride) (PVDF), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), carbon nanofibers, and poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) particles is described and claimed. The polymeric composition may be coated onto a substrate and dried to form a film adhered to the substrate. The film optionally exhibits an electrical conductivity of about 10 Siemens per meter (S/m) to about 310 S/m and an electromagnetic interference shielding of about 32 decibels. Further, a coated substrate is provided including a substrate and a film adhered to the substrate, where the film includes a polymeric composition comprising a blend of PVDF, PMMA, carbon nanofibers, and PTFE particles.
摘要:
The present invention generally relates to methods to provide electrospun polymer/nanoparticle composite-fiber structures for use as lightweight, compliant, porous strain sensors for non-cyclic strain sensing. In one embodiment, the fibers in the nanocomposites comprise, for example, poly(∈-caprolactone) (PCL) dielectric polymer matrix with embedded electrically conductive carbon black (CB) nanoparticles. In another embodiment, the composite-fiber structures of the present invention contain at least about 7 weight percent or more of CB and are electrically conducting in the as-spun, un-deformed state, and are thus called conductive polymer composites (CPC). In still another embodiment, the electrical resistance of a nanocomposite structure according to the invention increases with strain, and at sufficiently high strains the structure is rendered non-conductive.
