Generation of High Yields of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) Using Recycled Metal Catalysts
INV-20045 Background This technology relates to the upcycling of waste plastics to value-added products, in this case carbon nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs). This invention is exemplified in a method where metallic substrates are used as catalysts for the growth of nanotubes. The feedstock consists of polymers or other organic materials,...

Generation of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) at the Presence of Additives
INV-20046 Background Generation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) from feedstocks of polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE) polymers is challenging, unlike the generation of CNTs from polyolefinic polymers (polyethylene and polypropylene) or from polystyrene polymers. The low yield of gaseous pyrolyzates from PET, particularly the very low content...

A Versatile Self-Sustaining Method and Device for Fuel/Power Generation by Sequential Gasification and "Clean Combustion" of Waste Products
Method and device for fuel and power generation by clean combustion of organic waste materials. Institute Reference: INV-1108 Background Fossil fuel resources are finite, and are widely expected to dwindle in the not too distant future. As these resources become more scarce, the costs of extracting fuel have been on the rise and it has become more...
