Publication number: 20140151288Abstract: Technologies are generally described for composite membranes which may include a porous graphene layer in contact with a porous support substrate. In various examples, a surface of the porous support substrate may include at least one of: a thermo-formed polymer characterized by a glass transition temperature, a woven fibrous membrane, and/or a nonwoven fibrous membrane. Examples of the composite membranes permit the use of highly porous woven or nonwoven fibrous support membranes instead of intermediate porous membrane supports. In several examples, the composite membranes may include porous graphene layers directly laminated onto the fibrous membranes via the thermo-formed polymers. The described composite membranes may be useful for separations, for example, of gases, liquids and solutions.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2012Publication date: June 5, 2014Applicant: Empire Technology Development LLCInventors: Seth Adrian Miller, Gary L.

Publication number: 20140130971Abstract: An application device for a screen protector and an application method thereof are provided for applying an adhesive film to a screen of an electronic device with ease and precision. The application device is formed as a frame-like structure having an internal hollow region. The screen protector includes, from top to bottom, a protective layer, an adhesive film layer, and a release layer sequentially bonded together. The protective layer is greater in area than the adhesive film layer or the release layer and has a peripheral portion extending outwardly beyond the adhesive film layer or the release layer. The peripheral portion of the protective layer is attached to a frame-shaped top surface of the application device while the adhesive film layer and the release layer bonded thereto are placed in, and lie adjacent to a top portion of, the internal hollow region of the application device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2013Publication date: May 15, 2014Inventor: Chan Jung HSU

Publication number: 20140130972Abstract: A method for transferring graphene nondestructively and at a low cost. In the method, a graphene is used whose surface is coated with transferring media and whose original substrate is an electrode, the electrode is placed into an electrolyte, and the graphene is separated from the original substrate by means of the driving force of bubbles and the gas intercalation produced on the graphene electrode surface during electrolysis. Then, the graphene coated with transferring media is nondestructively combined with a target substrate. The transferring media is removed so as to transfer the graphene to the target substrate nondestructively. The transferring method results in no damage or loss with respect to the graphene and the original substrate, and the original substrate can be re-used. Furthermore, the method is easy to perform, works quickly, is easy to control, and is pollution-free.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2012Publication date: May 15, 2014Applicant: Institute of Metal Research Chinese Academy of SciencesInventors: Wencai Ren, Libo Gao, Laipeng Ma, Huiming Cheng
