Carbon dioxide and polymer compositions for permeability control and sealing

A method of treating a material to achieve at least one of reducing surface wettability of the material or reducing fluid transport through the material includes exposing the material to a composition including a solution of a polymer portion and carbon dioxide for a period of time. The polymer portion includes at least one of a polyfluoroacrylate or a copolymer of a fluoroacrylate and a comonomer. A pressure of the composition is maintained above the cloud point of the polymer portion at a concentration thereof in the carbon dioxide for the period of time.

Silicon sealing for high performance battery anode materials

A battery electrode is provided that includes a porous silicon microstructure precursor, a silicon shell coating deposited on the silicon microstructure precursor, and a graphene coating deposited on the silicon shell coating, where the graphene coating encapsulates the silicon shell coating forming a graphene-encapsulated silicon-shell-protected porous silicon microstructure precursor battery electrode.

Polymer film heat exchanger sealing system and method

A method of manufacturing a heat exchanger array that includes stacking a plurality of heat exchanger units in an aligned configuration with respective first ports of the plurality of heat exchanger units aligned. The method can further include generating heat in the first coupling elements at the same time and at a temperature sufficient to generate a first plurality of respective couplings between adjacent sheets of adjacent heat exchanger units about adjacent first ports and without a coupling being generated between the first and second sheets of a given heat exchanger unit.
