  • HYBRID CARBON NANOFIBERS PRODUCTS AND METHODS OF FABRICATING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20240400767
    Abstract: Hybrid carbon nanofiber (Cnf) products (e.g., mats, yarns, webs, etc.) and methods of fabricating the same are provided. The hybrid Cnf products are flexible and lightweight and have high thermal conductivity. An electrospinning process can be used to fabricate the hybrid Cnf products and can include preparation of an electrospinning solution, electrospinning, and carbonization (e.g., under a vacuum condition).
    Type: Application

  • Ultra-high temperature carbide foams and methods of fabricating the same
    Patent number: 11807581
    Abstract: Ultra-high temperature carbide (UHTC) foams and methods of fabricating and using the same are provided. The UHTC foams are produced in a three-step process, including UHTC slurry preparation, freeze-drying, and spark plasma sintering (SPS). The fabrication methods allow for the production of any kind of single- or multi-component UHTC foam, while also providing flexibility in the shape and size of the UHTC foams to produce near-net-shape components.

  • Boron nitride nanotube-magnesium alloy composites and manufacturing methods thereof
    Patent number: 11131007
    Abstract: Boron nitride nanotube (BNNT)-magnesium (Mg) alloy composites and methods of fabricating the same are provided. The BNNT-Mg alloy composites can have a sandwich structure and can be fabricated by high-pressure spark plasma sintering. A mat of BNNTs can be sputter-coated with Mg, and then sandwiched between Mg alloy particles, followed by a sintering step. The BNNTs can include a hexagonal boron nitride phase.
