Highly Ordered Carbon Nanotube Arrays and Nanotube-Polymer Nanocomposite Superlattices for Full-Color Sensing and Coating

摘要

The equipment acquired through this grant will add to our capabilities for our collaboration with groups at the Air Force Lab' at Wright- Patterson AFB and at the Kirtland Base. Our ongoing project has been given significant added potential to open up a broad range of new opportunities for further explorations, some of which have already been identified and are to be pursued in our long term plan. In conclusion, the Equinox 55 Bruker FTIR spectrometer with attached Hyperion Microscope is the core of a network of experimental devices which help us work towards this goal. The principal intended result of our efforts with this apparatus is the development and testing of an JR sensitive focal-plane array of carbon nanotubes. Due to the financial support of AFOSR we now have the critical equipment which will enable us to reach this goal.
