  • Patent number: 9346679
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a plurality of carbon nanotube structures having enhanced length is disclosed. Several steps are involved in this method. First, a substrate is provided. Next, a non-catalytic metal layer is formed on the substrate. Then, a catalytic metal layer is formed on the non-catalytic metal layer. After that, the catalytic metal layer is subjected to ultrasonication and exposure to water. Finally, the plurality of carbon nanotube structures is formed on the substrate in the presence of the catalytic metal layer. In this embodiment, the ultrasonication and exposure to water step includes submerging the catalytic metal layer in a liquid bath, ultrasonicating the catalytic metal layer and the liquid bath, and exposing the catalytic metal layer to water.

  • Patent number: 7687981
    Abstract: Described is a method for preparation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with medium to low-site density growth for use in field emission devices (FEDs). The method involves the deposition of a non-catalytic metal layer (interlayer), preferably a metallic conductor, onto the surface of a substrate, prior to the deposition of a catalytic layer (overlayer). The interlayer allows for only partial (sparse) growth of CNTs on the substrate, and helps to prevent resist layer “lift-off” when photolithographic processing is employed.

  • Patent number: 6858360
    Abstract: A method and composition for manufacturing a luminescent screen assembly for a color cathode ray tube (CRT) is disclosed. The luminescent screen assembly is formed on an interior surface of a faceplate panel of the CRT. The luminescent screen assembly has a patterned light-absorbing matrix thereon. The matrix defines a first set of fields, a second set of fields, and a third set of fields. An aqueous pigment suspension is applied to the first set of fields. The aqueous pigment suspension comprises a pigment, one or more surface-active agents and at least one non-pigmented oxide particle. The at least one non-pigmented oxide particle has a size that is less than that of the pigment.
