  • Publication number: 20150357548
    Abstract: A method for forming a thermoelectric film having a micro groove includes the following steps: A) forming a plurality of parallel sacrificing wires by electrospinning, a diameter of each sacrificing wire being 100-500 nm; B) coating a thermoelectric film having a thickness of 80-200 nm on a part of a surface of each sacrificing wire; and C) removing the sacrificing wires from the thermoelectric films and thus obtaining the thermoelectric films each having the micro groove, a radio side of each thermoelectric film being open to the surroundings. The thermoelectric films finally prepared can have higher size uniformity without the disadvantage of catalyst residual. Further, the thermoelectric films each have a size smaller than the mean free path of phonons in one dimension, and thus the thermoelectric properties of the thermoelectric films can be improved.

  • Patent number: 9096747
    Abstract: Low molecular weight semicrystalline propylene-alpha olefin copolymers containing propylene crystallinity are used as a nucleating agent in crystalline polypropylene and polypropylene copolymers. The nucleating copolymers are propylene-alpha olefin copolymers having a percent crystallinity of 5-75%, a melting point of 45° C.-105° C., and an MFR between 300 and 5000 g/10 min. Nucleated polypropylene compositions comprise a nucleating amount of the copolymer blended in a matrix of polypropylene homopolymer, or 0.01 to 9 wt % ?-olefin copolymer, having a melting point greater than 110° C. The nucleating copolymer improves processing time with little or no effect on the crystallinity-associated characteristics of the matrix. The invention also provides methods of crystallizing polypropylene with the nucleating agent and of forming articles with the composition, and also provides articles formed from the composition and/or by the method.
