Materials

In high voltage applications dielectric breakdown strength of materials are employed to determine equipment size in their design, and therefore its power level.

The process of the present invention employs membranes to facilitate the nearly complete removal of americium from spent nuclear fuel.

The invention enables multifunctionality to be permanently incorporated onto the surface of glass or glass ceramics or even ceramics.

This invention relates to the unique application of FeCrAl to the Colorado State/Envirofit third world cookstove design, which can take advantage of the excellent corrosion resistance of the FeCrAl yet still tolerate the poor high temperature strength of FeCrAl.

Assembly of metal nanoparticles into microwire networks is accomplished in an improved process. Vakarelski, et al.

In this invention we disclose a cathode structure and a class of additives that can significantly improve the cyclability of Li/S batteries and promote the utilization of sulfur in the battery cycles.

This invention creates a well bonded, durable optical quality thin film that is superhydrophobic (extremely water repellant), that blocks ultraviolet (UV) radiation and can be deposited in such a way as to be antireflective over a broad spectrum of optical wavelengths.

An on-board thermoelectric vehicle system for generating electrical energy using a heated fluid stream includes a body of high conductivity foam shaped and located to increase heat transfer from the heated fluid stream to increase efficiency of the thermoelectric device.

The invention offers a platform to design 1)multiple devices and provide 2)thermal management , 2)light management of these devices, 3) tunability of color via device structure or phosphor glass, 4) Scaling of the array assembly.

This invention simultaneously aligns and disperses single or muli-wall carbon nanotubes within a glass or polymer matrix.
