Abstract: Identifying marks are often used for authentication and tracking purposes with various types of articles, but they can sometimes be subject to replication or removal by an outside entity, such as a person or group having malicious intent. Carbon nanotubes and other carbon nanomaterials can be used to form identifying marks that are not visible to the naked eye, thereby making the marks more difficult for an outside entity to tamper with. Various articles can include an identifying mark that is not visible to the naked eye, the identifying mark containing a nanomaterial that includes a plurality of carbon nanotubes with a registered distribution of chiralities. The registered distribution of chiralities can be further tailored to increase the level of security provided by the mark.

Abstract translation: 识别标记通常用于与各种类型的文章的认证和跟踪目的，但是它们有时可能被外部实体（例如具有恶意意图的人或组）的复制或删除。 碳纳米管和其他碳纳米材料可以用于形成肉眼不可见的识别标记，从而使得外部实体篡改的标记更加困难。 各种物品可以包括肉眼不可见的识别标记，识别标记包含纳米材料，其包括具有注册的手性分布的多个碳纳米管。 可以进一步量身定制手写登记的分发，以提高商标的安全性。
