Multifunctional Cementitious Nanocomposite Material And Methods Of Making The Same

View page
US Patent:
7666327, Feb 23, 2010
Filed:
May 22, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/154382
Inventors:
Vinod P. Veedu - Honolulu HI, US
Assignee:
Oceanit Laboratories, Inc. - Honolulu HI
International Classification:
H01B 1/18
H01B 1/08
C04B 35/52
US Classification:
252510, 252506, 252511, 252502, 501 90, 501 99, 106717, 106814
Abstract:
A high performance multifunctional cementitious nanocomposite material is made by adding a nano admixture to the water used in a conventional cementitious material manufacturing process. The nano admixture is made by dispersing nanomaterials in a solvent and sonicating the mixture, adding a hydrophilic emulsifier, thickener, additive or cellulose derived compound to hot water, where it separates and expands, cooling the water, causing the compound to dissolve, and then adding the solvent and nanomaterial mixture to the water and mechanically mixing. The contact between the nanomaterials and the surrounding matrix changes with applied stress, affecting the volume electrical response of the finished nanocomposite material. By measuring the electrical resistance of the material, its structural health, as well as the stress applied to it, can be monitored. A bridge made with the material is monitored for structural integrity and for the weight, speed, and location of traffic over the bridge.

Carbon Nanomaterial Dispersion And Stabilization

View page
US Patent:
7713448, May 11, 2010
Filed:
Sep 25, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/904247
Inventors:
Vinod P. Veedu - Honolulu HI, US
Assignee:
Oceanit Laboratories, Inc. - Honolulu HI
International Classification:
H01B 1/24
US Classification:
252506, 252510, 252511, 252502, 501 90, 501 99, 106717, 106814
Abstract:
Carbon nanomaterials are stabilized and uniformly dispersed in a liquid such as water using a simple procedure. Methylcellulose is added to hot water where it separates and expands with a temperature of about 80-90 degree Celsius. Methylcellulose swiftly dissolves when the water cools down. Carbon nanomaterials are dispersed in a solvent and sonicated. This nanomaterial dispersed solvent is then added to the methylcellulose dispersed water and mechanically stirred. The resulting uniform mixture is up to 90% by weight nanomaterials and is stable for months.

Carbon Nanotubes-Reinforced Conductive Silver Ink

View page
US Patent:
7763187, Jul 27, 2010
Filed:
Aug 23, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/895170
Inventors:
Vinod P. Veedu - Honolulu HI, US
Christopher J. Sullivan - Honolulu HI, US
Assignee:
Oceanit Laboratories, Inc. - Honolulu HI
International Classification:
H01B 1/22
H01B 1/24
US Classification:
252503, 252510, 252511
Abstract:
Conductive silver ink is reinforced using carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanomaterials are stabilized and uniformly dispersed in a solvent and mechanically mixed with conductive silver ink. The reinforcement material bridges the gap between separated silver flakes in the conductive silver ink. The carbon nanotubes reinforced conductive silver ink exhibits superior performance over unreinforced silver ink in its mechanical, electrical and thermal properties without significantly greater weight.

US Patent:
7875212, Jan 25, 2011
Filed:
Feb 9, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/703136
Inventors:
Mohammad Naghi Ghasemi Nejhad - Honolulu HI, US
Vinod P Veedu - Honolulu HI, US
Andrea Yuen - Honolulu HI, US
Davood Askari - Honolulu HI, US
Assignee:
University of Hawaii - Honolulu HI
International Classification:
H01B 1/24
H01B 1/20
C04B 14/00
US Classification:
252511, 252510, 2525193, 25251933, 2525195, 424484, 424485, 424486, 424487, 424489, 424401, 106400, 106409, 106425, 106428, 106429, 106430, 106431, 106436, 106437, 106472, 106476, 106482, 106499, 106500, 106 3, 106 6, 132200, 132 73, 977926
Abstract:
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.

Three-Dimensionally Reinforced Multifunctional Nanocomposites

US Patent:
8148276, Apr 3, 2012
Filed:
Sep 19, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/523731
Inventors:
Mohammad Naghi Ghasemi Nejhad - Honolulu HI, US

Anyuan Cao - Honolulu HI, US
Pulickel Ajayan - Clifton Park NY, US

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute - Troy NY
International Classification:
B32B 5/02
B32B 5/26
B32B 11/00
B32B 11/02
US Classification:
442172, 442178, 442179, 442180, 442239, 977742, 977753
Abstract:
A three-dimensional composite reinforcement, a three-dimensionally reinforced multifunctional nanocomposite, and methods of manufacture of each are disclosed. The three dimensional reinforcement comprises a two dimensional fiber cloth upon which carbon nanotubes have been grown, approximately perpendicular to the plane of the fiber cloth. The nanocomposite comprises the three-dimensional reinforcement and a surrounding matrix material. Examples illustrate improvements in the through-thickness mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of the nanocomposite, in addition to substantial improvements in geometrical stability upon temperature changes and vibrational damping, compared to baseline composites reinforced with the two-dimensional fiber cloth alone. Embodiments of the nanocomposite may also be configured to perform multiple functions simultaneously, such as bearing a thermal or mechanical load simultaneously or bearing a mechanical load while also monitoring the state of damage within the nanocomposite.

US Patent:
8173734, May 8, 2012
Filed:
Apr 8, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/798614
Inventors:
Vinod P Veedu - Honolulu HI, US
Venkat Kamavaram - Honolulu HI, US
Assignee:
Oceanit Laboratories, Inc. - Honolulu HI
International Classification:
C08K 3/34
C08K 3/04
US Classification:
524445, 524495, 524496
Abstract:
Clay platelets are separated from an agglomeration of clay platelets by treating with cobalt acetate and leaving cobalt particles on the platelets. Carbon nanotubes are grown on the platelets at the cobalt sites, and the nanotubes separate platelets from the agglomeration. The separated platelets and nanotubes are acid cleaned. Intumescent fire retardant materials are chemisorbed on the clay platelets and nanotubes.
