METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IDENTIFYING AND CHARACTERIZING MATERIAL SOLVENTS AND COMPOSITE MATRICES, AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for identifying and characterizing material solvents and composite matrices, and to provide methods of using the same.SOLUTION: Solvents for macromolecules generally believed to be insoluble in their pristine form are identified by generation of a 'solvent resonance' in the relationship between solvent quality (deduced by Rayleigh scattering) and an intrinsic property of solvents. A local extreme of the solvent resonance identifies the ideal intrinsic property of an ideal solvent, which may then be used to select a particular solvent or solvent combination. A solvent for graphene is used to produce transparent conductive electrodes.
