  • Equipartition of Nano Particles in a Metallic Matrix to Form a Metal Matrix Composite (MMC)
    Publication number: 20180029119
    Abstract: A metal matrix composite with a uniformly distributed ceramic component is made by mixing nano size ceramic particles with a surfactant and/or dispersing agent in a polar liquid to produce a colloidal solution, blending the ceramic particles with micron or sub-micron size metallic particles, and then compacting the blended ceramic and metallic particles into a solid mass.

  • SURFACE MODIFICATION OF NANOSENSOR PLATFORMS TO INCREASE SENSITIVITY AND REPRODUCIBILITY
    Publication number: 20100256344
    Abstract: The present invention relates to various methods of sensitizing and modifying nanosensor platforms. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method of increasing sensitivity by inhibiting oxidation of one or more 1,4-hydroquinone (HQ) molecules, functionalizing the nanosensor by using one or more diazonium molecules, creating one or more oxidized carbon groups on the nanosensor, and/or depositing one or more metal clusters on the nanosensor.
