US Patent:

7265174, Sep 4, 2007

Filed:

Mar 21, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/103562

Inventors:

David Carroll - Central SC, US
John Ballato - Clemson SC, US
Stephen Foulger - Clemson SC, US
Richard Czerw - Clemson SC, US
Dennis Smith - Seneca SC, US
Hiren Shah - Clemson SC, US
Earl Wagener - Clemson SC, US

Assignee:

Clemson University - Clemson SC

International Classification:

C08K 3/04

US Classification:

524495, 524496

Abstract:

The disclosure provides compositions prepared by combining nanomaterials with a halide-containing polymer, thereby forming a combined polymer matrix having dispersed nanomaterials within the matrix. The nanomaterials may be carbon-based nanotubes, in some applications. A halide-containing monomer is combined with nanotubes, and then polymerized in some compositions. In other applications, a halide-containing polymer is solution processed with nanotubes to form useful compositions in the invention. Also disclosed are probes for near field detection of radiation.
