  • Nanocomposites from stable dispersions of carbon nanotubes in polymeric matrices using dispersion interaction
    Patent number: 9493635
    Abstract: Stable dispersions of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in polymeric matrices include CNTs dispersed in a host polymer or copolymer whose monomers have delocalized electron orbitals, so that a dispersion interaction results between the host polymer or copolymer and the CNTs dispersed therein. Nanocomposite products, which are presented in bulk, or when fabricated as a film, fiber, foam, coating, adhesive, paste, or molding, are prepared by standard means from the present stable dispersions of CNTs in polymeric matrices, employing dispersion interactions, as presented hereinabove.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 22, 2006
    Date of Patent: November 15, 2016
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
    Inventors: Kristopher Eric Wise, Cheol Park, Jin Ho Kang, Emilie J. Siochi, Joycelyn S. Harrison
  • Dispersions of carbon nanotubes in polymer matrices
    Patent number: 7666939
    Abstract: Dispersions of carbon nanotubes exhibiting long term stability are based on a polymer matrix having moieties therein which are capable of a donor-acceptor complexation with carbon nanotubes. The carbon nanotubes are introduced into the polymer matrix and separated therein by standard means. Nanocomposites produced from these dispersions are useful in the fabrication of structures, e.g., lightweight aerospace structures.
