  • Patent number: 9375751
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an inorganic-nano structure composite, a method for manufacturing a cabon nanotube composite by using the same, and a carbon nanotube composite manufactured by the same are provided. The method for manufacturing the inorganic-nano structure composite comprises a step of doping pentavalent elements on the nanostructure; and a step of growing the inorganic material from the doping points of the pentavalent elements by dipping the nanostructure on which the pentavalent elements are doped into a precursor solution of the inorganic material, and according to the present invention the pentavalent elements such as nitrogen are doped on the nanostructure and is utilized as the crystallization point of the inorganic material, instead of forming the separate coating layer to the organic-based nanostructure, or binding the binding group to the surface.

  • Patent number: 8486613
    Abstract: According to an example embodiment of the present invention, a photoresist pattern is formed on a base substrate including a neutral layer. A sacrifice structure including a first sacrifice block and a second sacrifice block is formed on the base substrate having the photoresist pattern, and the sacrifice structure is formed from a first thin film including a first block copolymer. Thus, a chemical pattern is formed to form a nano-structure. Therefore, the nano-structure may be easily formed on a substrate having a large size by using a block copolymer, and productivity and manufacturing reliability may be improved.
