  • Patent number: 9850572
    Abstract: The present invention proposes a production method for obtainment of three-dimensional closed graphene-based nano-/microstructures (10) using a coaxial multilayer core-shell production process (1000) comprising a coaxial flow system (100) having a first flow path (101) and a first fluid exit (1011) at an end of said first flow path; and a second flow path (102) circumferentially surrounding said first flow path (101), said second flow path having a second fluid exit (1021); wherein a first fluid (1) flows through the first flow path and exits through the first fluid exit (1011); and a second fluid (2) which is immiscible with the first fluid (1) under the conditions where said production method is conducted, flows through the second flow path (102) and exits through the second fluid exit (1021) such that the second fluid (2) circumferentially covers the first fluid (1) upon leaving the coaxial flow system (100); said second fluid (2) comprises a graphene-based material, a polymeric material and solvent.

  • Publication number: 20150360408
    Abstract: A self-healing system of nano/microstructures comprising a first type 1 and a second type 2 of longitudinal nano/microstructures each having an outer surface 100, each having a core 10, 11 and a polymeric first layer 20, 21 coaxially surrounding said core 10, 11 and at least one of said longitudinal nano/microstructure comprising a catalyst 101, wherein the core 10 of said first type nano/microstructures 1 comprises an epoxy resin, and the core 11 of said second type nano/microstructures 2 comprises a hardener, each of said first and second type nano/microstructures further comprise a second layer 30, 31 coaxially surrounding said first layer 20, 21 wherein the stiffness of said second layer 30, 31 is higher than the stiffness of said first layer 20, 21, and said hardener reacts with said epoxy resin when said first layer 20, 21 and second layer 30, 31 of said first and second type of nano/microstructures 1, 2 rupture upon a mechanical damage.
