Title:
THREE-DIMENSIONAL NETWORKS COMPRISING NANOELECTRONICS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/165634
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to nanoscale wires and three-dimensional networks or structures comprising nanoscale wires. For example, certain embodiments are directed to three-dimensional structures comprising nanoscale wires. The structures may be porous and define electrical networks wherein the nanoscale wires can be determined or controlled. Other materials, such as inorganic materials, polymers, fabrics, etc., may be disposed within the three-dimensional structure, and in some embodiments, such that the three-dimensional structure is embedded within the material. The nanoscale wires may thus be used, for example, as sensors within the material. Other embodiments of the invention are generally directed to the use of such articles, methods of forming such articles, kits involving such articles, or the like.
