Abstract:
1. An apparatus for deposition of nanoparticles upon a deposition substrate, comprising: a container assembly comprising: a delivery assembly comprising: a deposition substrate container for supporting a deposition substrate within the upper inner portion of the deposition chamber and below the upper end of the deposition chamber, the deposition substrate having an exposed surface, and wherein the exposed surface of the deposition substrate is positioned in the upper inner portion of the deposition chamber above an orifice of the needle and below the upper end of the deposition chamber; and wherein the needle is oriented in a direction toward the lower inner portion of the deposition chamber such that when the nanomaterial is ejected from the ejection device through the orifice of the needle, the nanomaterial is ejected in a direction away from the deposition substrate container; and wherein when the nanomaterial is deposited within the nanomaterial feeding container, the nanomaterial can be fed into the nanomaterial mixing and ejection device wherein the nanomaterial can be mixed and wherein after mixing, the nanomaterial can be ejected into the inner space of the deposition chamber as particles comprising nanoparticles and nanomaterial clusters forming a suspension of nanoparticles in the upper inner portion of the deposition chamber wherein nanoparticles from the suspension of nanoparticles become deposited on the exposed surface of the deposition substrate below the upper end of the deposition chamber such that nanoparticles are the primary particles deposited on the exposed surface of the deposition substrate and nanomaterial clusters primarily settle in the lower inner portion of the deposition chamber.
