    Abstract: A composition of graphene-based nanomaterials and a method of preparing the composition are provided. A carbon-based precursor is dissolved in water to form a precursor suspension. The precursor suspension is placed onto a substrate, thereby forming a precursor assembly. The precursor assembly is annealed, thereby forming the graphene-based nanomaterials. The graphene-based nanomaterials are crystallographically ordered at least in part and configured to form a plurality of diffraction rings when probed by an incident electron beam. In one aspect, the graphene-based nanomaterials are semiconducting. In one aspect, a method of engineering an energy bandgap of graphene monoxide generally includes providing at least one atomic layer of graphene monoxide having a first energy bandgap, and applying a substantially planar strain is applied to the graphene monoxide, thereby tuning the first energy band gap to a second energy bandgap.

  • Patent number: 6939115
    Abstract: A wet-type rotor pump which is particularly suitable for feeding coolant in motorcar engines comprises a pump wheel. By the pump wheel, a feed medium is fed through an intake channel into a discharge channel. Via a common shaft, a motor armature of an electric motor is connected with the pump wheel. The motor armature is surrounded by a slit pot, feed medium flowing around the motor armature to cool it. The shaft is supported by two radial bearings, one radial bearing being arranged in a supporting element. The supporting element that is arranged within the intake channel further comprises an abutting surface on which a flow surface of the pump wheel abuts to take up axial forces.
