US Patent:

20100159366, Jun 24, 2010

Filed:

Aug 14, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/541305

Inventors:

Seung Woo Lee - Cambridge MA, US
Naoaki Yabuuchi - Cambridge MA, US

Assignee:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Cambridge MA

International Classification:

H01M 4/58
B05D 5/12
H01M 4/02

US Classification:

429532, 427 77, 4292318, 977752, 977932

Abstract:

The embodiments described herein relate generally to methods, compositions, articles, and devices associated with layer-by-layer assembly and/or functionalization of carbon-based nanostructures and related structures. In some embodiments, the present invention provides methods for forming an assembly of carbon-based nanostructures on a surface. The carbon-based nanostructure assembly may exhibit enhanced properties, such as improved arrangement of carbon-based nanostructures (e.g., carbon nanotubes) and/or enhanced electronic and/or ionic conductivity and/or other useful features. In some cases, improved properties may be observed due to the attachment of functional groups to the surfaces of carbon-based nanostructures. Using methods described herein, formation of carbon-based nanostructure assemblies may be controlled to produce structures with enhanced properties.

Assignee:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Cambridge MA

International Classification:

G02B 7/185

US Classification:

359846

Abstract:

System for establishing a surface shape. The system includes a compliant substrate including the surface and having a reverse side, and a plurality of discrete actuators engaging the reverse side and arranged in a selected pattern to control the surface shape as individual discrete activators are activated. It is preferred that the actuators have multiple discrete stable states of elongation. A particularly preferred embodiment uses actuators that are binary with two stable states of elongation.
