A curable carbon nanotube ink and a transparent conductive film made using the ink. The ink includes a curable resin binder, a catalyst that is configured to be activated and cure the resin binder, a viscous to vapor diluent, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The CNT concentration range in the ink is from about 0.001% to about 0.2% by weight.

Curable carbon nanotube ink and transparent conductive films created using the ink

A transparent conductive film (TCF) and methods for creating the TCF. The TCF includes a substrate having a surface, a metal mesh layer over at least a portion of the surface of the substrate, and a conductive layer over the metal mesh layer. The conductive layer includes carbon nanotubes and a binder.

Transparent conductive circuit

This disclosure includes, and results in the creation of, a printed carbon nanotube and/or graphene hybrid antenna and/or EMI shield, comprised of a conductive layer that comprises a metal mesh (MM) layer or a nanowire layer on a substrate, with a printed Signal Enhancement Layer (SEL) on the conductive layer. The SEL includes an ink that includes one or both of carbon nanotube (CNT) and graphene. The circuit pattern results after the 'exposed' conductive layer (i.e., the regions where the CNT/graphene ink is not printed) is removed via chemical etching or mechanical cutting. The structure (the antenna/EMI shield) is preferably but not necessarily transparent.

Transparent radio frequency antenna and EMI shield

Carbon-carbon nanotube (CNT) hybrid materials, and methods of producing the hybrid materials. The hybrid materials include carbon particles and CNTs on the surface of the particles. The CNT comprises more than about 3.2 weight percent of the hybrid material.

Nanocomposite master batch composition and method of manufacture

This invention relates to flexible, transparent and conductive coatings and films formed using carbon nanotubes (CNT) and, in particular, single wall CNT, with polymer binders. Preferably, coatings and films are formed from CNT applied to transparent substrates forming one or multiple conductive layers at nanometer level of thickness. Polymer binders are applied to the CNT network coating having an open structure to provide protection through infiltration, and may comprise a basecoat, a topcoat, or a combination thereof, providing enhanced optical transparency, conductivity, moisture resistance, thermal resistance, abrasion resistance and interfacial adhesion. Polymers may be thermoplastics, thermosets, insulative, conductive or a combination thereof. A fluoropolymer containing binder is applied onto a CNT-based transparent conductive coating at nanometer level of thickness on a clear substrate. The fluoropolymers or blend can be either semi-crystalline or amorphous. This binder coating and the resulting products can be used for display and electronic applications.

Method of forming fluoropolymer binders for carbon nanotube-based transparent conductive coatings

A method for making a nanocomposite electrode or circuit pattern includes forming a continuous carbon nanotube layer impregnated with a binder and patterning the binder resin using various printing or photo imaging techniques. An alternative method includes patterning the carbon nanotube layer using various printing or imaging techniques and subsequently applying a continuous coating of binder resin to the patterned carbon nanotube layer. Articles made from these patterned nanocomposite coatings include transparent electrodes and circuits for flat panel displays, photovoltaics, touch screens, electroluminescent lamps, and EMI shielding.

Method for patterning carbon nanotube coating and carbon nanotube wiring

The present invention relates to a novel nanocomposite dielectric comprising a polymer matrix and a plurality of carbon nanotubes dispersed therein. A method for increasing a dielectric constant of a polymer matrix, as well as a laminate and mobile antenna comprising the novel dielectric are also disclosed.

Nanocomposite dielectrics

A method for making a particulate filled polymeric matrix composite film includes mixing a polymeric matrix material with a dispersion of particulate filler in a carrier liquid to form a casting composition and adjusting the viscosity of the casting composition to retard separation of the particulate filler from the composition. A layer of the viscosity-adjusted casting composition is cast on a substrate and the layer is consolidated to form the particulate filled polymer matrix composite film. Films made by the method include very thin, e.g less than 1.0 mil, fluoropolymeric matrix films highly filled with very small diameter, preferably spherical, particles for use as, e.g. dielectric substrate materials in laminar electrical circuits.
