Patent number: 8038479Abstract: Electrical connectors comprising carbon nanotubes, at least one polymer, and a metallic electrical conductor are described. The carbon nanotubes are dispersed in the polymer to create an electrically-conducting polymer dispersion. The metallic electrical conductor contacts the electrically-conducting polymer dispersion to form the electrical connector. The electrical connectors include standard electrical connections for incorporation into standard electrical circuit applications. Methods to prepare the electrical connectors are described.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2008Date of Patent: October 18, 2011Assignee: NanoRidge MaterialsInventor: Michael T. Searfass

Publication number: 20090221738Abstract: The present invention provides polymer nanocomposites with dispersed nanotubes and methods of making same. The polymer may be a polyether. For example, the present invention provides an effective method to successfully disperse single walled nanotubes (SWNTs) into both Polyethylenoxide (PEO) and its low molecular weight analog polyethylene glycol (PEG) with hydrodynamic percolation at about 0.09 wt % and an electrical percolation at about 0.03 wt % SWNTs at room temperature, and the resulting nanocomposites. The method may include providing a surfactant. Most notably the present inventors achieved a decrease in the melting point of the polymer and a retardation of polymer crystallization due to the presence of the nanotubes.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2006Publication date: September 3, 2009Applicant: NANORIDGE MATERIALS, INC.Inventors: Ramanan Krishnamoorti, Tirtha Chatterjee, Koray Yurekli
