Formation Of Metal Oxide Nanowire Networks (Nanowebs) Of Low-Melting Metals

View page
US Patent:
20070209576, Sep 13, 2007
Filed:
Jun 16, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/869489
Inventors:
Mahendra Sunkara - Louisville KY, US
Shashank Sharma - Mountain View CA, US
Burtron Davis - Georgetown KY, US
Uschi Graham - Lexington KY, US
International Classification:
C30B 25/00
C30B 23/00
C30B 28/12
US Classification:
117087000, 117089000, 117109000
Abstract:
A method of producing networks of low melting metal oxides such as crystalline gallium oxide comprised of one-dimensional nanostructures. Because of the unique arrangement of wires, these crystalline networks defined as “nanowebs”, “nanowire networks”, and/or “two-dimensional nanowires”. Nanowebs contain wire densities on the order of 10/cm. A possible mechanism for the fast self-assembly of crystalline metal oxide nanowires involves multiple nucleation and coalescence via oxidation-reduction reactions at the molecular level. The preferential growth of nanowires parallel to the substrate enables them to coalesce into regular polygonal networks. The individual segments of the polygonal network consist of both nanowires and nanotubules of β-gallium oxide. The synthesis of highly crystalline noncatalytic low melting metals such as β-gallium oxide tubes, nanowires, and nanopaintbrushes is accomplished using molten gallium and microwave plasma containing a mixture of monoatomic oxygen and hydrogen. Gallium oxide nanowires were 20-100 nm thick and tens to hundreds of microns long. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed the nanowires to be highly crystalline and devoid of any structural defects. Results showed that multiple nucleation and growth of gallium oxide nanostructures can occur directly out of molten gallium exposed to appropriate composition of hydrogen and oxygen in the gas phase. The method of producing nanowebs is extendible to other low melting metals and their oxides such as for example: zinc oxide, tin oxide, aluminum oxide, bismuth oxide, and titanium dioxide.

Process For Forming Metal Nanoparticles In Polymers

View page
US Patent:
20090074705, Mar 19, 2009
Filed:
Jul 28, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/181319
Inventors:
Uschi Graham - Lexington KY, US
Rajesh Khatri - Georgetown KY, US
International Classification:
A01N 59/16
C08K 3/10
F21V 9/04
B01J 31/12
US Classification:
424 7817, 524403, 252587, 502159
Abstract:
A one step process is described for forming metal nanoparticles in polymers at atmospheric pressure and room temperature or with mild heating and stirring. The inventive process includes addition of nanoparticle precursor salts, e.g. HAuClor AgNOinto a “reducing” polymer resin, for example polyurethane resins, derivitized polyurethanes, polyurethane acyrlates and combinations thereof. With stirring, often at room temperature, the salts are rapidly reduced to form metal nanoparticles, usually less than 100 nm in size and often in the size range of 20-40 nm, and even as small 2 nm, depending on the concentration of salt precursor used and the exact polymer composition. The resultant metal nanoparticle-containing polymer resins have a wide range of utility for making coatings and other polymeric materials with properties potentially useful for anti-bacterial use, optical coatings, or catalysts.

Coating For Sensing Thermal And Impact Damage

View page
US Patent:
20090304905, Dec 10, 2009
Filed:
Aug 29, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/847326
Inventors:
Uschi M. Graham - Lexington KY, US
Rajesh A. Khatri - Georgetown KY, US
International Classification:
B05D 3/06
C08K 5/1535
US Classification:
427 8, 524111, 977902
Abstract:
Coating compositions containing resins with dispersed nanoparticle precursors and methods for using said coatings as visual indicators of thermal and impact damage. The nanoparticle precursor/resin system reduces the nanoparticle precursor to its nanoparticle state when subjected to heat and/or physically impacted. The nanoparticles formed impart a color upon the coating at the point of exposure due to surface plasmon resonance. Microencapsulated leuco dyes are utilized to impart color when the coating is struck. The dye within the microcapsule is released as the microcapsule wall bursts or melts. Solubillizing agents can be utilized to improve the solubility of the nanoparticle precursor in the resin.

Formation Of Spherical Carbon And Graphitic Particles From Carbohydrate And Distillery Waste Feedstock Using Carbon Dioxide And Effluent Additives

View page
US Patent:
20230035364, Feb 2, 2023
Filed:
May 16, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/745849
Inventors:
Stephen M. Lipka - Richmond KY, US
Uschi M. Graham - Lexington KY, US
International Classification:
C01B 32/05
C01B 32/336
C01B 32/348
C01B 32/21
Abstract:
A method of using carbon dioxide and low pH effluent from prior processing batches for synthesizing-carbon particles or hydrochar from carbohydrate/water solution formulations and conversion of aqueous feedstock containing carbohydrate waste. The hydrochar is a precursor material containing biochar solids and an acidic effluent. The hydrochar can be separated into solids (biochar) and liquid where the solids can be used for preparing a variety of carbonaceous products such as activated carbon. The carbohydrate/water formulation is heated in a pressure vessel converting solid waste to hydrochar forming uniform stable carbon nuclei and converting the aqueous carbohydrates in solution to solid spherical carbon particles. Microwave-assisted or inductive heating can be used as a preprocessing step to increase formation of carbon nuclei to accelerate growth of the carbon particles.

Non-Yellowing Easy-To-Clean Antimicrobial Plastic

View page
US Patent:
20140171546, Jun 19, 2014
Filed:
Oct 31, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/998431
Inventors:
Uschi M. Graham - Lexington KY, US
Bryan Livengood - NIcholasville KY, US
International Classification:
C08K 5/06
US Classification:
523122
Abstract:
An additive that is incorporated into a thermoplastic acrylic pre-polymer formulation to render the polymer surface hydrophilic with easy cleanability and also making the surface antimicrobial. The additive is a hydrophilic reactive additive or (“HRA”), is incorporated with the other acrylic formulation components and polymerized into the acrylic polymer backbone. This reaction ensures that there will be no loss of hydrophilicity after repeated contact of the easy to clean acrylic sheet with water, as is typically happens with most sanitary ware products.
