摘要:
Carbon nanotubes are grown directly on metal substrates using chemical vapor deposition. Metal substrates are comprised of catalysts which facilitate or promote the growth of carbon nanotubes. The nanotube coated metal substrates have applications including, but not limited to, heat transfer and thermal control, hydrogen storage, fuel cell catalytic reformers, electronics and semiconductors, implantable medical devices or prostheses, and tribological wear and protective coatings.

摘要:
A method for producing a carbon nanotube composite, in which carbon nanotubes are grown on a support substrate and metal catalyst. The carbon nanotubes, support substrate, and catalyst are combined in at least a partially unpurified form with a matrix material.
摘要:
A self-cleaning air purifier for use with a central air conditioning device includes at least one ion generator made up of at least one ionizer bar and an electrically grounded water reservoir with an exposed surface, where the surface of the water is parallel and proximate to the at least one ionizer bar. Contaminants in the air flow path are charged and driven to the grounded water surface. This grounded water surface (ground plane) is comprised of a container with a submerged grounding plate or is comprised of a grounded electrically conducting container. The grounding plate may also be comprised of metals such as Cu, Zn, Sn, Ni, and Ag, or alloys containing these metals, which will also act as biocides in the water. Materials such as tablets or packets may also be added to the electrically grounded water reservoir so as to provide the biocide materials. The tablets or packets can be comprised of metal biocide salts with chelating agents to retain the dissolved biocide metals in solution.
摘要:
CFC replacement solvent compositions, methods of using the same and methods of making the same. These compositions meet or exceed the solvency, flammability, and compatibility requirements for CFC's while providing similar or improved environmental and toxicological properties. These solvent compositions have application including, but not limited to, oxygen handling, refrigeration or heat pumps, electronics, implantable prosthetic devices, and optical equipment.
摘要:
A topical skin protectant formulation containing a barrier cream and an active moiety for protecting warfighters and civilians against all types of harmful chemicals, specifically chemical warfare agents (CWAs). The topical skin protectant offers a barrier property and an active moiety that serves to neutralize chemical warfare agents into less toxic agents.
