  • Publication number: 20120016309
    Abstract: A device is provided which is suitable for delivering at least one nanoparticle(s) to a subject. The device can be used to deliver a variety of nanoparticles, for example, therapeutic agents, directly through the outer layers of the skin without passing completely through the epidermis of the subject. Thus the device can be used to deliver therapeutic agents to a predetermined depth and avoid disturbing the pain receptors in the skin. Thus the device can be used to deliver agents, including therapeutic agents, in a non-invasive manner. A method of fabricating devices with associated nanoparticles is also provided.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20110014460
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a laminate is disclosed. The method includes dispersing carbon nanotubes in a curable resin and then coating a semi-permeable substrate with this carbon nanotube containing resin. The coated semi-permeable substrate is pressed and the resin is at least partially cured, such that the carbon nanotubes are bound to the substrate. The carbon nanotubes are present in an amount between 0.1 wt % and 99 wt % in the at least partially cured resin.
