  • Patent number: 7625952
    Abstract: A carbon nanocapsule-layered silicate hybrid is provided. Layered silicates (platelet-shaped) as a dispersant are mixed with carbon nanocapsules (sphere-shaped) by a physical process. The physically mixed hybrid exhibits a homogeneous dispersion phase due to the geometric shape inhomogeneity factor. Aggregation of carbon nanocapsules is thus avoided. The hybrid can be dispersed in a polar or non-polar solvent with a solid content of about 0.01-30 wt %.

  • Publication number: 20090122403
    Abstract: An optical film with low or zero birefringence and a method for fabricating the same are provided. The optical film with low or zero birefringence includes a plurality of birefringence films, and the plurality of birefringence films is overlapped with the long axes perpendicular to each other. A sum of the refractive indices of the overlapped birefringence films in an x direction is equal to that in a y direction. The placement of the birefringence films in the optical film with low or zero birefringence can solve the problem that optical polymer cannot be applied to optical parts due to the birefringence of optical polymer.
