Abstract:
Methods for fastening nanoscale structures within an anchoring structure to form a nanostructure composite and nanostructure composites formed therefrom. A primary fluid layer is formed on an anchoring substrate. Nanostructures are provided on an initial substrate, the nanostructures having a defined height and orientation with respect to the initial substrate. The nanostructures are introduced to a desired depth in the primary fluid layer, such that the orientation of the nanostructures relative to the growth substrate is substantially maintained. The primary fluid layer comprises one or more fluid layers. Ones of multiple fluid layers are selected such that when altered to form an anchoring structure, a portion of the anchoring structure can be removed, permitting exposure of at least a portion of the nanostructures from the anchoring structure in which they are affixed. The growth substrate is removed. Ends or other parts of nanostructures may be exposed from the anchoring structure.

Abstract:
The invention pertains to a method for manufacturing crystalline carbon nanostructures and/or a network of crystalline carbon nanostructures, comprising: (i) providing a bicontinuous micro-emulsion containing metal nanoparticles having an average particle size between 1and 100nm;(ii) bringing said bicontinuous micro-emulsion into contact with a substrate; and (iii) subjecting said metal nanoparticles and a gaseous carbon source to chemical vapor deposition, thus forming carbon nanostructures and/or a network of carbon nanostructures. Therewith, it is now possible to obtain crystalline carbon nanostructures networks, preferably carbon nanotubes networks.

본 발명은 실리카 나노튜브에 은나노가 함유된 유성 항균 조성물에 관한 것으로, 유성계 도료, 세라믹 조성물, 섬유코팅 조성물 등과 같이 유성 베이스 조성물을 사용하기 직전에 유성 항균 조성물을 혼합하여 사용함으로써, 유성 베이스 조성물에 함유되어 있는 유기 용제와의 접촉시간을 단축시켜 은 나노의 산화반응을 제한하고, 또한 구형 구조의 실리카와는 달리 나노튜브 구조에 의해 은 나노입자 자체가 어떠한 종류의 유성 용제에서도 엉김현상 등이 발생하지 않아 우수한 분산력에 의해 항균성능을 향상시킨 것이 장점이다.
