This proposal was received in response to Nanoscale Science and Engineering initiative, NSF 05-610, category NIRT. One objective of this work is to provide science and technology enabling eventual commercial production of carbon nanotube yarns and sheets having close to the mechanical, electrical, and thermal transport properties of the component individual nanotubes. The approach taken is solid-state processing, since this is the only method that is applicable for the ultra-long nanotubes needed for realizing the spectacular inherent properties of individual nanotubes. Another objective is to add higher levels of hierarchal assembly that are optimized for active device applications. While applications focus will be on artificial muscles, project advances will benefit diverse applications demonstrated for these nanotube yarns or sheets: light emitting diodes, organic and electrochemical solar cells, polarized sheet incandescent light sources, cold electron emission displays and lamps, transparent conducting applique's, thermal electrochemical harvesting, and yarn supercapacitors. The last objective of developing a rational synthetic route to carbon nanotubes of one type, by crystal-based reactions that are an alternative to poorly controllable gas-phase-based nanotube growth processes, will increase fundamental understanding of crystal-controlled solid-state polymerization reactions, chemical transformations dominated by three-dimensional covalent connectivity, and enable bulk property characterizations for nanotubes of one type. Nano@Border, NanoScout, NanoExplorer, and NanoInventor programs will benefit minorities, very young students, the retired and unemployed, as well as encourage people with quite different backgrounds to work together on interdisciplinary teams in frontier areas. Project funding will expand these educational activities, and bring women and Hispanics to work on the project. Our project collaborations with Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Nokia, the NASA Ames Center for Nanotechnology, the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Carbon Nanotechnologies Inc., Hyperion Catalysts International, Eeonyx Corporation, and other companies will both accelerate project progress, and help provide clear paths for commercialization of project discoveries.

该提案是为了回应Nanscale科学与工程计划，NSF 05-610，类别NIRT。这项工作的一个目的是提供科学和技术，以实现碳纳米管纱线和薄板的最终商业生产，该碳纱和板接近零件单个纳米管的机械，电气和热传输性能。采用的方法是固态处理，因为这是唯一适用于实现各个纳米管所需的壮观固有特性所需的超长纳米管的方法。另一个目的是添加为活动设备应用优化的较高级别的层次组件。 While applications focus will be on artificial muscles, project advances will benefit diverse applications demonstrated for these nanotube yarns or sheets: light emitting diodes, organic and electrochemical solar cells, polarized sheet incandescent light sources, cold electron emission displays and lamps, transparent conducting applique's, thermal electrochemical harvesting, and yarn supercapacitors.通过基于晶体的反应来开发一种理性合成途径，通过基于晶体的反应来替代基于晶体的碳纳米管的碳纳米管的碳纳米管的替代方案，可以替代基于气相的纳米管生长过程，将增加对晶体控制的固体聚合反应的基本理解，化学转化是由单位共同连接性互联连接构成的，并构成了连接性的连接性，并表现出良好的连接性。 Nano@Border，Nanoscout，Nanoexplorer和Nanoinventor计划将使少数群体，非常年轻的学生，退休和失业，并鼓励背景截然不同的人在Frontier地区的跨学科团队共同努力。项目资金将扩大这些教育活动，并将妇女和西班牙裔人士从事该项目。我们与Raytheon，Lockheed Martin，Nokia，NASA Ames纳米技术中心，海军海底战争中心，Carbon Nanotechnologies Inc.，Hyperion Catalysts International，Eeonyx Corporation和其他公司都将加快项目进度，并为项目发现的明确的途径提供项目。
