| 20100093530 | METHOD OF PREPARING A COMPOSITION USING ARGENTATION CHROMATOGRAPHY - The present invention is directed to a method of preparing compositions enriched in compounds containing carbon chains of varying degrees of unsaturation using argentation chromatography. The present method utilizes an argentized cationic resin or a conditioned argentized alumina to separate compounds containing saturated or mono-unsaturated carbon chains from compounds having polyunsaturated carbon chains present in a starting composition. The invention is particularly useful for preparing a composition enriched in polyunsaturated fatty acid alkyl esters from mixtures of fatty acid esters in a starting composition derived from vegetable oils. The present invention is also directed to a method of preparing a conditioned argentized alumina adsorbent having increased selectivity for compounds containing one or more polyunsaturated carbon chains. | 04-15-2010 |

| 20090018352 | Method for purifying hydroxymethylfurfural using non-functional polymeric resins - Disclosed are methods of at least partially purifying HMF from an aqueous mixture containing reactants and products of HMF synthesis from fructose that relies on use of non-functional polymeric resins. A first type of non-functional polymeric resin preferentially adsorbs HMF relative to fructose and is used to remove a majority of fructose from the reaction mixture. HMF is desorbed from the first non-functional polymeric resin with an organic solvent such as acetone. A second type of non-functional polymeric resin preferential adsorbs furfural from an aqueous reaction mixture allowing HMF to pass through. In one embodiment, these non-functional polymeric resins may be used alone in combination with each other to obtain HMF of high purity. In other embodiments, one or more of the foregoing non-functional polymeric resin resins is used in combination with cation exchange chromatography to still further purify the HMF. | 01-15-2009 |

| 20100239918 | NANOPARTICLE-BLOCK COPOLYMER COMPOSITES FOR SOLID IONIC ELECTROLYTES - A microphase separated polymer has nano-domains and inorganic nanoparticles within at least one of the domains. The nanoparticle size is chosen to be substantially smaller than the domain size. For example, for the case of lamellar domains, the nanoparticle size is smaller than the width of the domain. This allows the nanoparticles to affect the bulk properties of the domain phase, such as the overall ionic conductivity or mechanical properties. The nanoparticles can be any of a number of inorganic oxides such as alumina, silica, or titania. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20110281175 | ELECTRODES WITH SOLID POLYMER ELECTROLYTES AND REDUCED POROSITY - An electrode/electrolyte assembly that has a well-integrated interface between an electrode and a solid polymer electrolyte film, which provides continuous, ionically-conducting and electronically insulating paths between the films is provided. A slurry is made containing active electrolyte material, a liquefied, ionically-conductive first polymer electrolyte with dissolved lithium salt, and conductive additive. The binder may have been liquefied by dissolving in a volatile solvent or by melting. The slurry is cast or extruded as a thin film and dried or cooled to form an electrode layer that has some inherent porosity. A liquefied second polymer electrolyte that includes a salt is cast over the electrode film. Some of the liquefied second polymer electrolyte fills at least some of the pores in the electrode film and the rest forms an electrolyte layer on top of the electrode film. After solidifying by either drying or cooling, the dual-cast electrode assembly includes both an electrode with low porosity and an adjacent solid polymer electrolyte film. A lithium secondary battery that employs the novel electrode assembly is also provided. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20120110835 | METHOD OF FORMING AN ELECTRODE ASSEMBLY - When electrode films are prepared for lithium electrochemical cells, problems are often encountered in laminating the films with an appropriate intervening electrolyte layer. This presents a significant challenge because proper alignment of the three layers and complete lamination at the interfaces are crucial to good cell performance. Often lamination is imperfect with gaps and defects at the interfaces. The disclosure herein describes a method of casting or extruding a polymer electrolyte directly onto an electrode film to create an electrode assembly with a continuous, defect-free interface. In some arrangements, there is some slight intermixing of the layers at the interface. A complete cell can be formed by laminating two such electrode assemblies to opposite sides of an additional electrolyte or to one another. | 05-10-2012 |

An anolyte layer, adjacent the anode, is chosen to be chemically and electrochemically stable against the anode active material. A catholyte layer, adjacent the cathode, is chosen to be chemically and electrochemically stable against the cathode active material. | 06-07-2012 |
