Filed:
Jan 13, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/033839
Inventors:
Jeff Lacombe - Reno NV, US
Glenn Sklar - Reno NV, US
Manoranjan Misra - Reno NV, US
Krishnan Raja - Reno NV, US
Shantanu Namjoshi - Reno NV, US
International Classification:
A01H001/00
C25D005/34
US Classification:
423447300, 205219000, 205324000
Abstract:
The present invention relates to controlled growth of carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using novel porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates, which have been seeded with transition metal catalysts. The resulting CNT bundles may be dense and long and can be used for numerous applications. Further, the porous AAO templates and the CNTs grown thereby, can be functionalized and used for separation of chemical species, hydrogen storage, fuel cell electrocatalyst and gas flow membranes, other catalytic applications, and as a bulk structural material.

Bioceramic Coated Apparatus And Method Of Forming The Same

US Patent:
20090082865, Mar 26, 2009
Filed:
Jun 27, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/570935
Inventors:
Krishnan Selva Raja - Sparks NV, US
Manoranjan Misra - Reno NV, US
Archana Kar - Reno NV, US
Assignee:
UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, RENO - RENO NV
International Classification:
A61F 2/28
C25D 11/34
US Classification:
623 1611, 205171
Abstract:
The invention relates to a bioceramic coated apparatus and method of forming the same. The apparatus may be a medical implant such as, for example, an orthopedic implant or a dental implant. The bioceramic coating is designed to increase tissue and/or bone growth upon implantation of the apparatus. The apparatus has a valve metal substrate having a nanoporous valve metal oxide surface layer. The nanoporous surface layer contains a plurality of nanopores. The nanopores have adsorbed phosphate ions on at least their interior surfaces. A bioceramic coating is formed on the nanoporous surface and anchored into the nanopores. Optionally, the nanopores are formed into a tapered shape in order to increase adhesion to the bioceramic coating.
