Abstract: A method and an apparatus (10) for making thin layers from particles, wherein the particles are deposited on a carrier fluid flowing by gravity along a ramp (12) leading to a dam (18). The particles are held back at the bottom of the ramp (12), thereby causing the particles to be piled up one against the other in a monolayer configuration.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an apparatus, a process and a cartridge for producing and transferring a thin film to a substrate withdrawing the thin film. The apparatus includes the substrate, a transfer lip, a gap defined between the substrate and the transfer lip and a liquid film supported on the transfer lip and carrying a thin film in a direction towards and into the gap, the liquid of the liquid film forming a capillary bridge spanning the length of the gap and supporting the thin film over the gap onto the substrate. The process includes the steps of supplying the liquid film, positioning the transfer lip and substrate, supporting the liquid film towards and into the gap, forming the capillary bridge and withdrawing the thin film. The modular cartridge is also described.

Abstract: The invention relates to a nanoparticle growing mat (30), a method of manufacturing the mat, and a method for the continuous production of organized nanotubes using the mat. The mat (30) comprising a substrate including carbon, on which is deposited in a predetermined pattern of nanosized catalytic particles whose pattern produces nanotubes in a highly ordered form. The mat (30) is activated in the presence of a carrier gas, by passing current through the mat (30) which raises the temperature to the level where, nanotubes are: formed; gathered; withdrawn as nanotube bundles (42); and collected.
