  • Carbon nanotube hybrid material fabric, composite fabric, and personal protective apparel and equipment
    Patent number: 11542635
    Abstract: Carbon nanotube (CNT) fiber and sheets formed by a specialized gas assembly pyrolytic reactor method that permits gas phase integration of nano and micro particles (NMPs) are processed into yarn and fabric used in the manufacture of personal protective clothing and equipment that can be tailored via selection of NMPs for a wide variety of functionality depending on target application. The CNT-NMP hybrid fabrics may be designed to exhibit enhanced electrical and thermal conductivity, moisture wicking, air filtering, and environmental sensing properties.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 10, 2018
    Date of Patent: January 3, 2023
    Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI
    Inventors: Mark J. Schulz, Sathya Kanakaraj, David Mast, Vesselin Shanov, Devika Chauhan, Guangfeng Hou, Vianessa Ng, Chenhao Xu, Rui Daniel Chen, Ashley Kubley, Xiaoda Hou, Richard Kleismit, Zhangzhang Yin
  • Methods for manufacturing carbon nanotube (CNT) hybrid sheet and yarn by gas phase assembly, and CNT-hybrid materials
    Patent number: 11305998
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the gas-phase production of carbon nanotube (CNT)-nanoparticle (NP) hybrid materials in a flow-through pyrolytic reactor specially adapted to integrate nanoparticles (NP) into CNT material at the nanoscale level, and the second generation CNT-NP hybrid materials produced thereby.
