  • Process for the production of nanostructured carbon materials
    Patent number: 9365426
    Abstract: A process for producing a nanostructured carbon material including the steps of providing a metal or metalloid carbide substrate and reacting the carbide substrate with a reactive gas to form the nanostructured carbon material, the reactive gas and the carbide substrate being added during the reacting step.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 22, 2013
    Date of Patent: June 14, 2016
    Assignee: SCNTE, LLC
    Inventors: Bill L. Riehl, Bonnie D. Riehl, Lee R. Riehl, Jim R. Riehl, Jay M. Johnson

  • Method for production of carbon nanostructures
    Patent number: 8252264
    Abstract: A process for the production of carbon nanostructures by an oxidation-reduction method is described. The growth of carbon nanorods, nanotubes, and nanoclusters on planar and non planar substrates, and free standing is demonstrated. In one embodiment a reactive gas is generated in situ and reacted with a carbide while the byproducts are removed, thereby adjusting the equilibrium to favor the formation of the carbon nanostructured product.
