20100172997 | GOLD, SILVER, AND COPPER NANOPARTICLES STABILIZED IN BIOCOMPATIBLE AQUEOUS MEDIA - The present invention includes metal nanoparticles composition and methods of making and using the same by converting a metal (I) to a metal (0) and forming one or more metal nanoparticles from the metal (0). The one or more metal nanoparticles are stabilized with one or more biocompatible stabilizers to prevent agglomeration and make them amenable for biomedical applications. | 07-08-2010 |
20100282080 | FLUORINATED METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS FOR GAS STORAGE - Fluorinated metal-organic frameworks (“FMOFs”) are capable of adsorbing and desorbing gases and molecules. The FMOFs can be arranged in a variety of configurations and have internal hollow channels and cavities. In the FMOFs, hydrogen atoms have been substituted completely or partially with fluorine atoms or fluorinated groups in each linking organic ligand. The FMOFs have high densities, leading to an enhanced volumetric capacity for gas storage. | 11-11-2010 |
20110260145 | ORGANIC LIGHT-EMITTING DIODES FROM HOMOLEPTIC SQUARE PLANAR COMPLEXES - Homoleptic square planar complexes [M(NΛN) | 10-27-2011 |
20120065614 | POLYIONIC TRANSITIONAL METAL PHOSPHORESCENT COMPLEX/POLYMER HYBRID SYSTEMS FOR BIOIMAGING AND SENSING APPLICATIONS - A new technique to stabilize transition metal phosphors in a wide variety of stimuli-sensitive polymers and gels is disclosed herein. Other than stabilization in stimuli sensitive/biocompatible matrix some of these transition metal based phosphors are also shown to act as phosphorescent crosslinkers that physically or chemically crosslink polymeric chains to form micro/nanoparticles. The microspheres/nanospheres of the present invention show decreased size and photoluminescence enhancement with particularly high sensitization at physiological pH and temperature. The so formed phosphorescent micro/nanospheres are useful for biological or environmental applications including biological labeling, imaging, and optical sensing. The techniques in the present invention enable usage of imaging agents and sensors at very low concentrations and also minimize or eliminate the usage of toxic chemical crosslinkers typically used to synthesize polymeric micro/nanoparticles. | 03-15-2012 |
20120118153 | FLUORINATED METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS FOR HYDROCARBON STORAGE - Fluorinated metal-organic frameworks (“FMOFs”) are capable of adsorbing and desorbing hydrocarbons, namely, C6-C8 hydrocarbon oil components (n-hexane, cyclohexane, benzene and toluene). FMOFs can be arranged in a variety of configurations and have internal hollow channels and cavities. In FMOFs, hydrogen atoms have been substituted completely or partially with fluorine atoms or fluorinated groups in each linking organic ligand. These FMOFs can adsorb C6-C8 hydrocarbons, up to 500 kg/m | 05-17-2012 |
20120180871 | NEUTRAL MIXED LIGAND TRANSITION METAL COMPLEXES AS ACTIVE MATERIALS IN SOLID-STATE ORGANIC PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICES - The present invention describes novel “black absorbers” comprising mixed ligand metal-organic complexes to be used in OPVs. The invention describes three representative metal-organic dyes that exhibit strong absorptions spanning the entire UV/Vis portion of the solar light and, in the some cases, well within the NIR. The invention further describes the fabrication of an OPV device by co-doping P1 in a standard polymer/fullerene matrix commonly used in a bulk heterojunction device structure. | 07-19-2012 |
