20100327482POLYMER MATRIX COMPOSITES WITH NANO-SCALE REINFORCEMENTS - Embodiments of the present invention provide polymer matrix nanocomposites reinforced with nano-scale materials such as nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes and methods of fabricating. The nanomaterials are provided within relatively low weight fractions, for example in the range of approximately 0.01 to about 0.4% by weight and distributed within the matrix by a magnetic mixing procedure to provide substantially uniform reinforcement of the nanocomposites. Advantageously, these nanocomposites provide significantly enhanced tensile strength, strain to failure, and fracture toughness over corresponding neat matrices.12-30-2010

20090215418COMMUNICATION UNIT AND METHOD OF OPERATION THEREFOR - A communication unit for a radio communication system comprises a receiver for receiving data over an air interface. The receiver can operate in a first diversity mode and a second diversity mode. The first diversity mode may specifically correspond to no receive diversity being employed and the second diversity mode may correspond to signals from two or more fully or partially de-correlated antennas being combined. The communication unit comprises a data unit which determines a first data characteristic for a section of data to be received over the air interface. A switching unit is arranged to switch between the first diversity mode and the second diversity mode in response to the first data characteristic. The invention may allow improved performance and e.g. reduced power consumption by allowing an improved adaptation of diversity operation. In particular, an improved trade-off between power consumption and performance may be achieved in many embodiments.08-27-2009

20100010119Corrosion-Resistant Epoxy Nanocomposite Coatings containing Submicron Emeraldine-Base Polyaniline and Organomodified Montmorrilonite - Disclosed is a method of preparation of corrosion-resistant epoxy coatings. The coating composition contains two main corrosion resistant factors: The first one was Eemeraldine-Base polyaniline (EB-PANi), dissolved in the aminic hardener of epoxy. The other one was montmorrilonite clay, dispersed or exfoliated in the base component of epoxy resin. The hardener composition was prepared via dissolution of EB-PANi in functional amines like 3-(aminomethyl)-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexan-1-amine adopting sonication and nanoscale filtering methods. The base component was prepared via gradual charging of MMT clay in epoxy resin via high-shear mixing plus sonication method. The morphology of the coatings during different stages of preparation was studied by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy and TEM. The corrosion-protective performance of the resultant coatings was evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and salt spray tests. The results were compared with those of conventional epoxy zinc-chromate and neat resin coatings. Superior corrosion resistance was achieved via dissolution of 0.5-2.5 wt % of EB-PANi in the aminic hardener and 2-4 WT % of organomodified MMT in base component of coating.01-14-2010
