Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090203873CONJUGATED POLYMERS FROM SUBSTITUTED 3,4-PROPYLENEDIOXYTHIOPHENE, COMPOSITIONS, METHOD OF MAKING, AND USE THEREOF - Polymers and copolymers having units derived from substituted 3,4-propylenedioxythiophene are disclosed. Also provided are methods of making and using the same.08-13-2009
20090242113GEL POLYMER ELECTROLYTES - An electrochromic cell is disclosed which can include a first electrically conducting transparent electrode bonded to an electrochemically formed first electrochromic electrode on the surface of the electrode; a second electrically conducting transparent electrode bonded to an electrochemically formed second electrochromic electrode on the surface of the second electrode and a transparent gel polymer electrolyte formed from one or more macromomoners mixed with a plasticizer and an electrolyte salt, the gel polymer electrolyte in contact with both the first and second electrochromic electrodes; the first and second electrochromic electrodes are separated from each other.10-01-2009
20090311799Nucleic Acid Materials for Nonradiative Energy Transfer and Methods of Production and Use - Nucleic acid materials for FRET-based luminescence and methods of making and using the nucleic acid materials are provided. The nucleic acid materials provide an innovative and synergistic combination of three disparate elements: a nucleic acid material, the processing technique for forming a nucleic acid material into films, fibers, nanofibers, or non-woven meshes, and nonradiative energy transfer. This combination can be formed into electrospun fibers, nanofibers, and non-woven meshes of a nucleic acid material-cationic lipid complex with encapsulated chromophores capable of nonradiative energy transfer such as efficient Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET).12-17-2009
20090326187SYNTHESIS OF THIENO[3,4-b]THIOPHENE, THIENO[3,4-b]FURAN, RELATED COMPOUNDS AND THEIR DERIVATIVES AND USE THEREOF - Inexpensive and facile methods of preparing fused heterocycles such as thieno[3,4-b]thiophene, thieno[3,4-b]furan, related compounds, and their derivatives are disclosed. Also disclosed are regioregular polymers prepared from the fused heterocycles.12-31-2009
20100113727POLYMERS OF THIENO[3,4-B]FURAN, METHOD OF MAKING, AND USE THEREOF - Polymers and copolymers having units derived from unsubstituted or substituted thieno[3,4-b]furan are disclosed. Also provided are methods of making and using the same.05-06-2010
20100238534GEL POLYMERS CONTAINING IONIC LIQUIDS - An electrochromic cell of the present invention may include a first electrically conducting transparent electrode bonded to an electrochemically formed first electrochromic electrode on the surface of the electrode; a second electrically conducting transparent electrode bonded to an electrochemically formed second electrochromic electrode on the surface of the second electrode and a transparent gel polymer electrolyte formed from one or more macromomoners mixed with a plasticizer and an electrolyte salt, the gel polymer containing ionic liquids in contact with both the first and second electrochromic electrodes; the first and second electrochromic electrodes are separated from each other.09-23-2010
20100245971FLEXIBLE ELECTROCHROMIC DEVICES, ELECTRODES THEREFOR, AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE - An electrochromic fiber or fabric is disclosed. The fiber or fabric includes a flexible, electrically conductive fiber, and a layer comprising an electrochromic material disposed on and surrounding the flexible, electrically conductive fiber. In one embodiment, the fiber or fabric is both flexible and elastic. The fibers and fabrics are of particular utility in electrochromic devices, particularly those which form or are a part of garments.09-30-2010
20100288343Nucleic acid-based photovoltaic cell - Photovoltaic cells containing nucleic acid materials and methods of production and use are provided. The nucleic acid materials have photovoltaic donor and acceptor molecules incorporated therein and define a spatial organization and orientation for these molecules that inhibits recombination of excitons and promotes efficiency in the photovoltaic cell. Preferred nucleic acid materials contain nucleic acid molecules complexed with ionic surfactants and are in the form of films, fibers, nanofibers, or non-woven meshes.11-18-2010
