  • Polymer-free carbon nanotube assemblies (fibers, ropes, ribbons, films)
    Patent number: 7938996
    Abstract: Process, apparatus, compositions and application modes are provided that relate to nanofiber spinning without the use of superacids in the spinning solution. The methods employ either acids or bases for a flocculation solution. The advances disclosed therein enable the use of nanofibers, including carbon nanotubes, for a variety of applications including, but not limited to, electromechanical actuators, supercapacitors, electronic textiles, and in devices for electrical energy harvesting.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 30, 2005
    Date of Patent: May 10, 2011
    Assignee: Board of Regents, The University of Texas System
    Inventors: Ray H. Baughman, Mikhail Kozlov, Von Howard Ebron, Ryan Capps, John P. Ferraris
