The present disclosure provides scalable nanotube fabrics and methods for controlling or otherwise adjusting the nanotube length distribution of a nanotube application solution in order to realize scalable nanotube fabrics. In one aspect of the present disclosure, one or more filtering operations are used to remove relatively long nanotube elements from a nanotube solution until nanotube length distribution of the nanotube solution conforms to a preselected or desired nanotube length distribution profile. In another aspect of the present disclosure, a sono-chemical cutting process is used to break up relatively long nanotube elements within a nanotube application solution into relatively short nanotube elements to realize a pre-selected or desired nanotube length distribution profile.

Scalable nanotube fabrics and methods for making same

A multi-layered, transparent-conductive stack with improved mechanical robustness, and a method of making the same, is described. The multi-layered film includes a layer of a hybrid film and a layer of a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) coating that is sputter deposited and forms a contact with the hybrid film. The hybrid film includes an interconnected network of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and a plurality of metal oxide nanoparticles (MONs). The plurality of MONs are randomly distributed in the interconnected network of CNTs forming an electrical contact with the CNTs.

Under one aspect, a covered nanotube switch includes: (a) a nanotube element including an unaligned plurality of nanotubes, the nanotube element having a top surface, a bottom surface, and side surfaces; (b) first and second terminals in contact with the nanotube element, wherein the first terminal is disposed on and substantially covers the entire top surface of the nanotube element, and wherein the second terminal contacts at least a portion of the bottom surface of the nanotube element; and (c) control circuitry capable of applying electrical stimulus to the first and second terminals. The nanotube element can switch between a plurality of electronic states in response to a corresponding plurality of electrical stimuli applied by the control circuitry to the first and second terminals. For each different electronic state, the nanotube element provides an electrical pathway of different resistance between the first and second terminals.

A 'bi-directional search and match' system, and apparatus, or match engine, is presented along with a detailed process or algorithm for execution of the same. In this construct, a relational database, supported by appropriate software modules for other functions receives search queries from users and converts them into numerical codes that are automatically and continuously matched against the search criteria provided by other users. The match engine continues with the match process at a pre-set time interval and automatically alerts the concerned users every time a match is found or as requested by the user. A user is enabled to initiate a range of follow-up actions when at least one matching criteria is met.

A method for preparing a 'preblend' of nanostructured carbon, such as nanotubes, fullerenes, or graphene, and a particulate solid, such as polymer beads, carbon black, graphitic particles or glassy carbon involving wet-mixing and followed by optional drying to remove the liquid medium. The preblend may be in the form of a core-shell powder material with the nanostructured carbon as the shell on the particulate solid core. The preblend may provide particularly improved dispersion of single-walled nanotubes in ethylene-&#x3b1;-olefin elastomer compositions, resulting in improved reinforcement from the nanotubes. The improved elastomer compositions may show simultaneous improvement in both modulus and in elongation at break. The elastomer compositions may be formed into useful rubber articles.
