Abstract

c-VACNT™ – structures are made with a combination of non-proprietary and proprietary manufacturing process steps including photolithographic patterning of catalyst wafers, VACNT growth, carbon infiltration, separation from a growth substrate, optional secondary coating and/or other local or global surface modifications. The c-VACNT™ material of which these structures are made of has a nano-carbon based bi-continuous phase structure with 20-100 nm wide slit pores that are mechanically stable

Abstract

We have developed a novel, patent-pending, fluid reactor system that is targeted for (1) improved Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) devices utilized in heartlung machines by enabling i) their use for an extended duration ii) manufacture of ECMO devices that operate on air instead of pure oxygen for special logistically challenged situations, iii) reduce the amount of donor blood needed for an operation and iv) reduce the

Abstract

Commercially available Hollow Fiber (HF) based Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenators (ECMO) are presently being built using a parallel assembly of over 10-20K of porous hollow polymeric fibers as respective reactor core elements (RCE). They are currently being used during cardiopulmonary bypass or cardioplegic surgery to provide the function of a lung. The external blood circuit is driven by a blood pump while using pure O2 as the

Abstract

Silicon nanowires (SiNWs) attract growing interest due to their high multi-functional potential, spanning from energy harvesting and storage, thermoelectricity, and protein detection to gas sensing applications.

A narrow distribution in properties (length, diameter, doping levels) and microscopic arrangement are sought-after for most applications for which reducing materials production costs is often a necessary condition for development. Specific arrangement of silicon nanowires vertically or even horizontally
