  • Universal Solution for Growing Thin Films of Electrically Conductive Nanostructures
    Publication number: 20150273521
    Abstract: A method is described for depositing nanostructures of conducting polymers, nanostructures, particularly carbon nanostructures and combinations thereof. The process comprises placing the nanostructures in a liquid composition comprising an immiscible combination of aqueous phase and an organic phase. The mixture is mixed for a period of time sufficient to form an emulsion and then allowed to stand undisturbed so that the phases are allowed to separate. As a result the nanostructure materials locate at the interface of the forming phases and are uniformly dispersed along that interface. A film of the nanostructure materials will then form on a substrate intersecting the interface, said substrate having been placed in the mixture before the phases are allowed to settle and separate.
    Type: Application
