  • Functionalized carbon nanotube-polymer composites and interactions with radiation
    Patent number: 8809979
    Abstract: The present invention involves the interaction of radiation with functionalized carbon nanotubes that have been incorporated into various host materials, particularly polymeric ones. The present invention is directed to chemistries, methods, and apparatuses which exploit this type of radiation interaction, and to the materials which result from such interactions. The present invention is also directed toward the time dependent behavior of functionalized carbon nanotubes in such composite systems.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 27, 2008
    Date of Patent: August 19, 2014
    Assignees: William Marsh Rice University, The Texas A&M University System
    Inventors: Enrique V. Barrera, Richard Wilkins, Meisha Shofner, Merlyn X. Pulikkathara, Ranjii Vaidyanathan
