Abstract: A water vapor sensor comprises a substrate and a film of carbon nanotubes impregnated with surfactant on the substrate. The substrate is of material which is inert relative to the film. Two or more electrical conductors are in contact with in spaced apart zones of the film, whereby the impedance of the film may be measured. The sensor is housed in housing which protects the sensor but also allows exposure of the film to water vapor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a temperature sensor comprising a network of carbon nanotubes, wherein an electrical resistance of the network of carbon nanotubes is indicative of a temperature to which the network of carbon nanotubes has been exposed. The present invention further relates to a time temperature indicator and a method of manufacturing a temperature sensor.

Abstract: A film can be patterned with a nanomaterial. Such patterning can, in various embodiments, be performed by applying a uniform mixture of a solute in a solvent to a surface of the film to form a coating of a soluble material on the surface of the film in a pre-defined pattern that defines coated parts of the film and uncoated parts of the film, depositing an aqueous dispersion, including the nanomaterial and a surfactant, on the defined coated and uncoated parts of the film, washing the film to remove the coating of the soluble material and the nanomaterial from the defined coated parts of the film, but not removing the nanomaterial from the defined uncoated parts of the film, along with removing the surfactant from the defined coated and uncoated parts of the film, and leaving a pattern of the nanomaterial on the defined uncoated parts of the film.

Abstract: Creating an electrically conductive transparent structure. Liquid droplets comprising electrically conductive nanomaterial are deposited randomly onto a surface of a supporting substrate at a desired density to form an electrically conductive transparent network wherein the droplets are released from an applicator. A rate of drying of the liquid is controlled such that the liquid is able to evaporate without substantially damaging the supporting substrate.
