| 7411019 | Polymer composites containing nanotubes The present invention relates to polymer composite materials containing carbon nanotubes, particularly to those containing singled-walled nanotubes. The invention provides a polymer composite comprising one or more base polymers, one or more functionalized m-phenyle... | 08/12/2008 |
| 7385262 | Band-structure modulation of nano-structures in an electric field A method to electronically modulate the energy gap and band-structure of semiconducting carbon nanotubes is proposed. Results show that the energy gap of a semiconducting nanotube can be narrowed when the nanotube is placed in an electric field perpendicular to the ... | 06/10/2008 |
| 7253431 | Method and apparatus for solution processed doping of carbon nanotube A method is provided for doping a carbon nanotube. The method comprises exposing the nanotube to a one-electron oxidant in a solution phase. A method is also provided for forming a carbon nanotube FET device. ... | 08/07/2007 |
| 7180107 | Method of fabricating a tunneling nanotube field effect transistor A method of fabricating a tunneling nanotube field effect transistor includes forming in a nanotube an n-doped region and a p-doped region which are separated by an undoped channel region of the transistor. Electrical contacts are provided for the doped regions and ... | 02/20/2007 |
