    • Carbon nanotube doped lithium ion batteries 

      Raffaelle, Ryne; Difelice, Ron; VanDerveer, William; Gennett, Thomas; Maranchi, Jeff; Kumta, Prashant; Hepp, Aloysius (American Physical Society: Proceedings of the Annual APS March Meeting, 2002-03-18)
      We have characterized thin film lithium ion batteries that contain high purity single wall carbon nanotube-doped polymer anodes. Highly purified single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) were obtained through chemical refinement ...

    • Development and characterization of single wall carbon nanotube–Nafion composite actuators 

      Landi, Brian; Raffaelle, Ryne; Heben, Michael; Alleman, Jeffrey; VanDerveer, William; Gennett, Thomas (Elsevier: Materials Science and Engineering B, 2005-02-15)
      The development and characterization of thin film polymeric actuators has been performed for single wall carbon nanotube (SWNT)–Nafion composite systems. Previous work in our laboratory illustrated that incorporation of ...

    • Effects of adsorbed O2, H2, CO2 and H2O on the optical properites of pure and polymer encapsulated single walled carbon nanotubes 

      Gennett, Thomas; Roe, Jo; VanDerveer, William; Fever, Adam; Landi, Brian; Raffaelle, Ryne; Alleman, Jeffrey; Dillon, Anne; Heben, Michael (American Physical Society: Annual APS March Meeting, 2002-03-18)
      We have measured the optical absorption spectra of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and SWCNT-polymer matrix samples at several temperatures and pressures. An in-situ cell was designed that allowed for heating of ...

    • Photoetching and modification of poly(tetrafluoroethylene-co-hexafluoropropylene) polymer surfaces with vacuum UV radiation 

      Chen, J.; Tracy, D.; Zheng, S.; Xiaolu, L.; Brown, Scott; VanDerveer, William; Entenberg, Alan; Vukanovic, V.; Takacs, Gerald; Egitto, F.; Matienzo, L.; Emmi, F. (Elsevier: Polymer Degradation and Stability, 2003-03)
      Films of poly(tetrafluoroethylene-co-hexafluoropropylene) (FEP) were exposed to radiation from 6.7 x 104 Pa He and Ar dc arc plasmas that were made to rotate inside of a graphite tube by the application of an auxiliary ...

    • Single wall carbon nanotube-Nafion composite actuators 

      Landi, Brian; Raffaelle, Ryne; Heben, Michael; Alleman, Jeffrey; VanDerveer, William; Gennett, Thomas (The American Chemical Society: Nano Letters, 2002-11)
      Single wall carbon nanotube (SWNT)-Nafion composite actuators have been demonstrated for 0.1-18% w/w doping of purified SWNTs within the polymer matrix. The high purity SWNTs, >95% w/w, were homogeneously dispersed into ...

    • Use of high-temperature and high humidity to test the adhesion of sputtered copper to a polyimide surface-modified by an AC Nitrogen Glow-Discharge 

      JB, MA; VanDerveer, William; Entenberg, Alan; Lindberg, Vern; Anschel, M.; Shih, Dy; Lauro, P. (Brill (VSP): Journal of Adhesion Science and Technology, 1995)
      We have used an extreme environmental stress test to study the adhesion of a thin sputtered copper film (0.5 mu m) to flexible polyimide (PI) substrates between 25 and 125 mu m thick. The polyimide types include Kapton ...
