| 20090243103 | SYNTHESIS OF ZEOLITE CRYSTALS AND FORMATION OF CARBON NANOSTRUCTURES IN PATTERNED STRUCTURES - A method is provided for incorporating zeolite crystals in patterned structures, the zeolite crystals having pores (channels) with an orientation which is defined by the topology of the zeolite crystal type and the geometry of the patterned structure, resulting in pores parallel with the length axis of the patterned structures. The patterned structures may be vias (vertical contacts) and trenches (horizontal lines) in a semiconductor substrate. These zeolite crystals can advantageously be used for dense and aligned nanocarbon growth or in other words growth of carbon nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes (CNT) within the pores of the zeolite structure. The growth of CNT is achieved within the porous structure of the zeolite crystals whereby the pores can be defined as confined spaces (channels) in nanometer dimensions acting as a micro-reactor for CNT growth. A method for growing carbon nanostructures within zeolite crystals is also provided, by adding, after creation of the zeolite crystals, a novel compound within the porous structure of the zeolite crystals whereby said novel compound is acting as a carbon source to create the carbon nanostructures. The improved growth method gives a significantly higher carbon density (yield) compared to state of the art techniques. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090269330 | FATTY ACID TRIGLYCERIDES FOR MAKING BIOCOMPATIBLE COATINGS - The invention relates to a mixture (a) of fatty acid triglycerides having a slip melting point above | 10-29-2009 |
| 20090318282 | Zeolite-Like Membranes from Nano-Zeolitic Particles - A silicate-based microporous ceramic molecular sieve membrane zeolite-like properties with an ordered stack of nanometre-sized slab-shaped building blocks having zeolite framework. A method for producing a membrane does not involve a hydrothermal treatment step, hence avoiding the formation of zeolite crystals. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20100022807 | CATALYTIC PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF OXYGENATED HYDROCARBONS - The invention relates generally to the production of oxygenated hydrocarbons such as lower alcohols and more preferably 1,2-propanediol. More particularly, this invention comprises a single-step catalytic process for the catalytic production of lower alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol and 1,2-propanediol from glycerol in aqueous medium. The catalyst comprises a metal selected from the Group VIII transition metals, preferably platinum, alloys thereof and mixtures thereof and a microporous carrier, preferably a faujasite-type zeolite. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20100098623 | ZEOLITE MATERIALS AND SYNTHESIS METHOD THEREOF - The present invention provides zeolites and zeolite-like material having an enhanced microporosity. It was found that such zeolites can be obtained using a zeolite synthesis method comprising the preparation of a gel or solution for the synthesis of a zeolite, said gel or solution comprising appropriate amounts of (i) a conventional monomeric or polymeric silica source and (ii) a molecular template as a microstructuring agent, characterized in that said gel or solution further comprises an organosilane compound having limited self-assembling capacity. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100130785 | PROCESS FOR PREPARING SECONDARY AMIDES BY CARBONYLATION OF A CORRESPONDING TERTIARY AMINE - The present invention relates to a process for preparing secondary amides with good selectivity by carbonylating a corresponding tertiary amine with carbon monoxide in a reaction mixture in the presence of a metal catalyst and in the presence of a halogen containing promoter. The metal catalyst comprises palladium. A same or even a much better catalytic activity can be obtained with palladium than with the much more expensive rhodium, especially when the palladium is used in a low concentration. Moreover, also a good selectivity can be achieved. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20100209473 | INTRALUMINAL DEVICE WITH A COATING CONTAINING A THERAPEUTIC AGENT - The invention relates to an intraluminal device, in particular an intraluminal prosthesis, shunt, catheter or local drug delivery device, provided with at least one coating containing a therapeutic agent comprised in a matrix which sticks to the intraluminal device, characterised in that said matrix is formed by a biocompatible oil or fat, which oil or fat is a chemically hardened oil or fat. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20100280289 | Process for the Selective Oxidation of Methane - The present invention is a process for converting methane to methanol, comprising: feeding methane and gaseous air or oxygen or gaseous air enriched with oxygen to a reactor under an elevated pressure; | 11-04-2010 |
| 20110124934 | Process for Making Crystalline Metallosilicates - The present invention provides a method for preparing a metallosilicate of MFI type, wherein organic templates, seeding techniques, using low aliphatic alcohols miscible with water or homogeneous starting solutions are not required. | 05-26-2011 |
