摘要:
Improved mechanical properties of both clay and carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced polymer matrix nanocomposites are obtained by dispersing those nanoparticles using a microfluidic process. Well-dispersed particles are obtained that sufficiently improve mechanical properties of the nanocomposites, such as flexural strength and modulus.

An industrial scale method for patterning nanoparticle emitters for use as cathodes in a display device is disclosed. The low temperature method can be practiced in high volume applications, with good uniformity of the resulting display device. The method steps involve deposition of CNT emitter material over an entire surface of a prefabricated composite structure, and subsequent removal of the CNT emitter material from unwanted portions of the surface using physical methods.
摘要:
Substantially enhanced field emission properties are achieved by using a process of covering a non-adhesive material (for example, paper, foam sheet, or roller) over the surface of the CNTs, pressing the material using a certain force, and removing the material.
摘要:
Embossed microstructures within a substrate are used to create narrow and deep holes within that substrate. A carbon nanotube solution or mixture is then deposited over this substrate with the embossed holes. Shaking or vibrating the substrate will then cause the carbon nanotubes to fall into each of the holes in such a way that all of the nanotubes within a hole will be substantially parallel to the long axis of the hole. This structure can then be combined with a gate electrode and an anode to create a field emission display device.

An article of manufacture comprises a carbon-containing matrix. The carbon-containing matrix may comprise at least one type of carbon material selected from the group comprising graphite crystalline carbon materials, carbon powder, and artificial graphite powder. In addition, the carbon-containing matrix comprises a plurality of pores. The article of manufacture also comprises a metal component comprising Al, alloys of Al, or combinations thereof. The metal component is disposed in at least a portion of the plurality of pores. Further, the article of manufacture comprises an additive comprising at least Si. At least a portion of the additive is disposed in an interface between the metal component within the pores and the carbon-containing matrix. The additive enhances phonon coupling and propagation at the interface.

A method and apparatus for assembly of small structures is disclosed. The present invention discloses electron beams created from one or more nanotips in an array operated in a field emission mode that can be controlled to apply heat to very well defined spots. The multiple electron beams may be generated and deflected and applied to electron beam heating and welding applications.
摘要:
An optoelectronic modulator is based on the concentration of an electron beam from an electron gun by a tapered cavity, which sides are photosensitive and change the electrical conductivity under the illumination of light (electromagnetic radiation). The light modulation causes the corresponding changes in the current transported across the walls of the cavity. The remaining part of the electron current exits the cavity aperture and forms an amplitude-modulated divergent electron beam.
摘要:
Particles, which may include nanoparticles, are mixed with carbon nanotubes and deposited on a substrate to form a cold cathode. The particles enhance the field emission characteristics of the carbon nanotubes. An additional activation step may be performed on the deposited carbon nanotube mixture to further enhance the emission of electrons.

Composition of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are produced into inks that are dispensable via printing or stencil printing processes. The CNT ink is dispensed into wells formed in a cathode structure through a stencil.
