Abstract:
1. An enhanced nanocomposite comprising a powder having a surface modified nanoscale layer selected from the group consisting of metals, metal oxides, organometallics, semiconductors, alloys, carbon products, or combinations thereof, the powder having an average particle size from about 1 nanometer to 100 nanometers, a nanoscale layer having an average thickness from 1 nanometer to 100 nanometers, and a nanocomposite conductive medium having an average particle size from 1 nanometer to 100 nanometers selected from the group consisting of monomers, polymers, organometallics, and combinations thereof, wherein the enhanced nanocomposite is assembled into a matrix comprised of at least one series of an alternating layer of nanocomposite doped with conductive additives with a layer of nanocomposite doped with semiconductor additives and wherein the thickness of a layer of nanocomposite doped with conductive additives is less than 10 nanometers and the thickness of a layer of nanocomposite doped with semiconductor additives is less than 10 nanometers.
