  • SWITCHING MATERIALS COMPRISING MIXED NANOSCOPIC PARTICLES AND CARBON NANOTUBES AND METHOD OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20110183489
    Abstract: An improved switching material for forming a composite article over a substrate is disclosed. A first volume of nanotubes is combined with a second volume of nanoscopic particles in a predefined ration relative to the first volume of nanotubes to form a mixture. This mixture can then be deposited over a substrate as a relatively thick composite article via a spin coating process. The composite article may possess improved switching properties over that of a nanotube-only switching article. A method for forming substantially uniform nanoscopic particles of carbon, which contains one or more allotropes of carbon, is also disclosed.
    Type: Application
