Carbon Nanotube Coating

Carbon nanotubes are one-dimensional nanostructures comprised mainly of graphene sheets rolled into tubes. They are known for exhibiting high tensile strength and extremely high thermal conductivities. Moreover, carbon nanotubes can be chemically functionalized and/or combined with nanoparticles to make electrically conductive nanostructures and single-electron transistors. Potential applications for carbon nanotubes include lightweight, strong composite structural materials, micro- and nano-scale needles and probes, chemical or biological agent sensors, tissue scaffolding, electrical cables and wires, smart/electronic fabrics, and hierarchical architectures for filtration, catalysis, hydrogen storage, tissue engineering, and structural composites, among others. Sonaer automated robotic coating systems can be used to produce such and other coatings reproducibly and efficiently. As scaled-up production and application of graphene and other nanomaterials is a key step towards their usage outside of the lab, Sonaer may also produce or assist in developing custom automated coating systems or "turn-key" CVD or spray pyrolysis units based on customer applications and needs, whether benchtop, prototyping, development, or production-level scale.

DOVE TAIL GAS ASSISTED SPRAY ATTACHMENT	Ultrasonic spray deposition solution is delivered to the ultrasonic nozzle, creating a spray with uniform-diameter droplets. The spray is focused onto the substrate using nitrogen as the carrier gas. With the Sonaer dove tail spray shaper, droplets are atomized with the nozzle and the carrier gas is used to spreads the uniform droplets over a wider area. Controlling the flow of solution, carrier gas and exposure of droplets, uniform material thickness is easily deposited on the substrate.
PIN POINT SPRAYING WITH THE PPSAS ATTACHMENT	This product attaches directly around the atomizer nozzle and a small gas flow is used to focus droplets to a pin point. The nozzle works with liquid through the center orifice and the gas surrounds the droplets making them sharp.
FLAT SPRAY ATTACHMENT FOR COATING LARGE AREAS ROBOTICALLY	Sonaer flat spray attachment provides coverage in a rectangular area. The shaper spreads droplets in a consistent thin uniform direction with very little overspray. Thickness is nano to microns and is adjusted by the scientist for the application being developed.
GAS ASSISTED SPRAY ATTACHMENT	Sonaer wide vortex spray attachment uses a small gas pressure to coat large areas with low volume of droplets. Droplets are dispersed over a wide area and provide a thin uniform coverage.
