An electromagnetic reflector composed of a non-knitted, non-metallic carbon-based material mesh, antenna system incorporating the reflector and method for fabrication are disclosed.

Laser cut carbon-based reflector and antenna system

The system and method includes the suspension of a free-standing carbon article within a reaction chamber, the introduction of the chemical precursor in a reaction environment within the chamber, and heating of the carbon article in the presence of the chemical precursor leading to deposition in a site-specific manner.

The present invention relates to a polymer-free nano-composite structure containing nanostructured carbon and nanoparticles. Also disclosed are methods of making the polymer-free nano-composite structures. The present invention also relates to a lithium ion battery, a capacitor, a supercapacitor, a battery/capacitor, or a fuel cell containing the polymer-free nano-composite structures of the present invention.

Nano-composite structures, methods of making, and use thereof

The present invention relates to freestanding carbon nanotube paper comprising purified carbon nanotubes, where the purified carbon nanotubes form the freestanding carbon nanotube paper and carbon microparticles embedded in and/or present on a surface of the carbon nanotube paper. The invention also relates to a lithium ion battery, capacitor, supercapacitor, battery/capacitor, and fuel cell containing the freestanding carbon nanotube paper as an electrode. Also disclosed is a method of making a freestanding carbon nanotube paper. This method involves providing purified carbon nanotubes, contacting the purified carbon nanotubes with an organic solvent under conditions effective to form a dispersion comprising the purified carbon nanotubes. The dispersion is formed into a carbon nanotube paper and carbon microparticles are incorporated with the purified carbon nanotubes.

Freestanding carbon nanotube paper, methods of its making, and devices containing the same

The present invention relates to dispersions of nanostructured carbon in organic solvents containing alkyl amide compounds and/or diamide compounds. The invention also relates to methods of dispersing nanostructured carbon in organic solvents and methods of mobilizing nanostructured carbon. Also disclosed are methods of determining the purity of nanostructured carbon.

Dispersion and separation of nanostructured carbon in organic solvents

The present invention discloses a carbon nanotube (SWNT)-polymer composite actuator and method to make such actuator. A series of uniform composites was prepared by dispersing purified single wall nanotubes with varying weight percents into a polymer matrix, followed by solution casting. The resulting nanotube-polymer composite was then successfully used to form a nanotube polymer actuator.
