On the left is a TEM image of the first nanospring our group produced. It is amorphous boron carbide (Nanosprings, Applied Physics Letters 79, 1540 [2001]) and the TEM image on the right is that of a silicon carbide nanospring we produced, which validated our contact angle anisotropy (CAA) model of amorphous nanospring formation (Silicon Carbide Nanosprings, Nano Letters 3, 983 [2003]).Dr. McIlroy

GUITAR Nanosprings
GUITAR Nanosprings
GUITAR Nanosprings-Frank Cheng’s group at the University of Idaho has developed a unique allotrope of carbon that consists of cross linked platelets of graphite. The material has superior electrochemical properties, too. Another valuable aspect of Frank’s GUITAR is that it forms conformal coatings. We have created conductive nanosprings by coating our silica nanosprings with GUITAR. Below are a few SEM images of GUITAR Nanosprings.Dr. McIlroy
