A method of producing composites that are capable of being used in various industries, including the aerospace and automotive industries. In particular, the present disclosure relates to methods of curing one or more prepregs and/or a liquid curable composition using one or more self-supporting, nonwoven carbon nanotube sheets comprising substantially non-aligned carbon nanotubes.

Method of producing composites

Provided herein are products and methods for making structures having a body defined by a carbon nanotube (CNT) pulp network having a long-range connectivity exceeding a percolation threshold of the structure to permit electron transport throughout the structure, an active material dispersed within the body, and a binder material binding the active material to the CNT pulp network within the body.

Systems and methods for making structures defined by CNT pulp networks

Articles for emitting infrared energy comprising a nanostructured member including a plurality of nanotubes, the member being configured to emit infrared energy when an electrical current is applied; a reflecting member configured to direct at least a portion of the emitted infrared energy in a desired direction for heating a remotely-situated target, and optionally a spacer situated between the nanostructured member and the reflecting member to maintain a predetermined spacing there between, the predetermined spacing selected to minimize destructive interference between the infrared energy emitted by the nanostructured member and the infrared energy reflected by the reflecting member. In alternative embodiments, a carbonaceous member may be substituted for the nanostructured member.

Directed infrared radiator article

Photovoltaic cells, as well as related systems, methods, modules, and components, are disclosed.

Electrode containing a polymer and an additive

A photovoltaic cell comprising, a cathode layer, an electron donating layer, and an electron accepting anode structure comprising a collection region including one or a plurality of secondary collection regions attached to the collection region. The secondary collection regions of the anode preferably are in the shape of dispersed rod shaped branches extending within a continuous phase of the electron donating layer. The collection region is preferably located at a central point with respect to the secondary collection regions, to thereby provide a photovoltaic cell structure with improved charge collection and efficiency of operation.

Photovoltaic solar cell

The durability and abrasion resistance of nano-structured optical surfaces, particularly those formed of or on polymeric substrate, are enhanced by at least one of adhering to it a fluorinated carbon molecule or other reactive lube composition as a monolayer coating (or a thin and substantially uniform multi-layer coating) and by treatment with a surface-active cross-linking agent.
