  • Patent number: 8309226
    Abstract: This invention is directed to an article comprising a transparent substrate and an electrically conductive transparent coating deposited on the transparent substrate. This invention is also directed to methods for preparing the electrically conductive transparent coating and depositing the coating on the transparent substrate. This invention is further directed to devices containing such articles. The electrically conductive transparent coating comprises carbon nanotubes filled, coated, or both filled and coated by a non-carbon material.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20120111093
    Abstract: This invention relates generally to gas sensors comprising organized assemblies of carbon and non-carbon compounds. The invention also relates to devices containing such gas sensors and analysis units. In preferred embodiments, the organized assemblies of the instant invention take the form of nanorods or their aggregate forms. More preferably, a nanorod is made up of a carbon nanotube filled, coated, or both filled and coated by a non-carbon material. The invention further relates to a method for detecting or quantitating an analyte gas.

  • Publication number: 20110183139
    Abstract: This invention relates generally to organized assemblies of carbon and non-carbon compounds and methods of making such organized structures. In preferred embodiments, the organized structures of the instant invention take the form of nanorods or their aggregate forms. More preferably, a nanorod is made up of a carbon nanotube filled, coated, or both filled and coated by a non-carbon material. This invention is further drawn to the separation of single-wall carbon nanotubes. In particular, it relates to the separation of semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes from conducting (or metallic) single-wall carbon nanotubes. It also relates to the separation of single-wall carbon nanotubes according to their chirality and/or diameter.
