Self-Generating Inorganic Passivation Layers For Polymer-Layered Silicate Nanocomposites

View page
US Patent:
7141277, Nov 28, 2006
Filed:
Mar 4, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/379215
Inventors:
Richard A. Vaia - Beavercreek OH, US
Hao Fong - Germantown MD, US
Jeffrey H. Sanders - Vandalia OH, US
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air Force - Washington DC
International Classification:
B05D 3/06
H05H 1/24
C23C 14/58
C23C 14/08
US Classification:
427534, 427536, 427539, 427579
Abstract:
A method for preparing high-use temperature, light-weight polymer/inorganic nanocomposite materials with enhanced thermal stability and performance characteristics, which comprises treating a polymer/inorganic nanocomposite material with oxygen plasma under conditions which result in a thin, protective, ceramic-like layer at the surface of the thus-treated nanocomposite material.

Method Of Amplitude Modulated Electrostatic Polymer Nanolithography

View page
US Patent:
7241992, Jul 10, 2007
Filed:
Jan 19, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/040299
Inventors:
Sergei F. Lyuksyutov - Akron OH, US
Shane Juhl - Dayton OH, US
Richard A. Vaia - Beavercreek OH, US
Pavlo B. Paramonov - Akron OH, US
Assignee:
United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air Force - Washington DC
International Classification:
G01N 13/16
US Classification:
250307, 250306, 73105
Abstract:
A method of amplitude modulated electrostatic polymer nanolithography providing rapid creation of features in a polymer film is disclosed. The nanolithography method of the present invention generates features by mass transport of polymer within an initially uniform, planar film via localized softening of attoliters (10-10nm) of polymer by Joule heating enabling high data densities upon the surface of the polymer. This localized Joule heating is accomplished by current flow between the cantilever AFM tip and a conductive wafer upon which the layer of polymer is grown or mounted.

Method Of Polymer Nanolithography

View page
US Patent:
7431970, Oct 7, 2008
Filed:
Mar 25, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/817406
Inventors:
Sergei Lyuksyutov - Akron OH, US
Shane Juhl - Dayton OH, US
Richard Vaia - Beavercreek OH, US
Assignee:
United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air Force - Washington DC
International Classification:
B05D 5/00
US Classification:
427256, 264405
Abstract:
An atomic force microscopy polymer nanolithography method is described. The method of the present invention enables rapid creation of raised or depressed features in a polymer film. The features are generated by mass transport of polymer within an initially uniform, planar film via localized softening of attoliters of polymer by Joule heating. This localized softening of the polymer is accomplished by current flow between the AFM tip and a conductive wafer upon which the layer of polymer is mounted.

Method Of Z-Lift Electrostatic Nanolithography

View page
US Patent:
7538332, May 26, 2009
Filed:
Sep 1, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/217843
Inventors:
Shane Juhl - Dayton OH, US
Sergei F. Lyuksyutov - Akron OH, US
Richard A. Vaia - Beavercreek OH, US
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air Force - Washington DC
International Classification:
H01J 37/26
US Classification:
2504922, 250307
Abstract:
The method of the present invention utilizes atomic force microscopy techniques (AFM) for the reversible formation of nanoscale polymeric features by localized heating and mechanical deformation, generated through electrostatically mediated interactions across the polymer film between a conductive backplane and the cantilever AFM tip. This technique utilizes a selective lifting/placement of the cantilevered tip in the z direction (perpendicular to the planar surface of the polymer) to produce nanostructures of precise dimensions in contact AFM mode from regions of polymer locally heated by current flow between the cantilever AFM tip and the conductive substrate.
