216007000 | FORMING OR TREATING FIBROUS ARTICLE OR FIBER REINFORCED COMPOSITE STRUCTURE | 8 |
20090301993 | Method for fabricating carbon nanotube film - A method for making a carbon nanotube film includes the steps of providing an array of carbon nanotubes, treating the array of carbon nanotubes by plasma, and pulling out a carbon nanotube film from the array of carbon nanotubes treated by the plasma. | 12-10-2009 |
20110163061 | Method Of Producing Microsprings Having Nanowire Tip Structures - A stress-engineered microspring is formed generally in the plane of a substrate. A nanowire (or equivalently, a nanotube) is formed at the tip thereof, also in the plane of the substrate. Once formed, the length of the nanowire may be defined, for example photolithographically. A sacrificial layer underlying the microspring may then be removed, allowing the engineered stresses in the microspring to cause the structure to bend out of plane, elevating the nanowire off the substrate and out of plane. Use of the nanowire as a contact is thereby provided. The nanowire may be clamped at the tip of the microspring for added robustness. The nanowire may be coated during the formation process to provide additional functionality of the final device. | 07-07-2011 |
20140027404 | METHOD FOR MAKING CARBON NANOTUBE NEEDLE - A method for manufacturing a carbon nanotube needle is provided. A carbon nanotube film comprising of a plurality of commonly aligned carbon nanotubes, a first electrode, and a second electrode are provided. The carbon nanotube film is fixed to the first electrode and the second electrode. An organic solvent is applied to treat the carbon nanotube film to form at least one carbon nanotube string. A voltage is applied to the carbon nanotube string until the carbon nanotube string snaps | 01-30-2014 |
20140083969 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A VARIABLY REINFORCED ELONGATE MEDICAL DEVICE - A method of making a variably reinforced elongate medical device includes braiding a reinforcing sleeve from a first strand including a first material and a second strand including a second material, exposing a portion of the braided reinforcing sleeve to a selected environmental stimulus or contacting the portion of the braided reinforcing sleeve with a selected substance, to thereby substantially modify the first strand in the respective exposed or contacted portion, and removing the substantially modified first strand from the respective exposed or contacted portion of the braided reinforcing sleeve, while the second strand is retained in the respective exposed or contacted portion. | 03-27-2014 |
20140202983 | COPPER ALLOY COMPOSITE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME - A method for preparing a copper alloy given a certain special surface shape yields tremendous bonding strength through compatibility with an epoxy resin adhesive. With a composite part in which this technology is utilized to integrate a copper alloy member as a cover material with a CFRP, it is possible to take advantage of the characteristics of both the copper alloy and the FRP due to the tremendous bonding strength. In a step in which an FRP prepreg is put into a mold and heated and cured, usually the mold is first coated with a release agent to facilitate release from the mold, but with high-technology CFRP, bleeding of the release agent often diminishes the properties.

20140346136 | METHOD FOR ENHANCING THE MECHANICAL STRENGTH OF AN SIC/SIC CERAMIC MATRIX COMPOSITE MATERIAL - The invention relates to a method for improving the mechanical strength of a ceramic matrix composite material of the SiC/SiC type, this composite material being obtained by (a) forming a fiber preform from 3 | 11-27-2014 |
20140367355 | CATION EXCHANGE MEMBRANE, ELECTROLYSIS VESSEL USING THE SAME AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING CATION EXCHANGE MEMBRANE - Provided is a cation exchange membrane having excellent mechanical strength against folding and the like and capable of delivering stable electrolytic performance for a long time, an electrolysis vessel using the cation exchange membrane and a method for producing the cation exchange membrane. A cation exchange membrane | 12-18-2014 |
20150337489 | Creation of patterns in fibrous matrices using localized dissolution printing - A method for fabricating a patterned fibrous matrix includes providing a printer adapted to use an etching solvent as an ink; providing to the printer a fibrous matrix to use as a printing medium; providing to the printer a pattern for printing on the fibrous matrix; printing by the printer the pattern on the fibrous matrix; and receiving from the printer the patterned fibrous matrix with the pattern etched thereon. | 11-26-2015 |
