| 20080210052 | METHODS OF CONTROLLING NANOSTRUCTURE FORMATIONS AND SHAPES - A method of forming monodispersed metal nanowires comprising: forming a reaction mixture including a metal salt, a capping agent and a quaternary ammonium chloride in a reducing solvent at a first temperature; and forming metal nanowires by reducing the metal salt in the reaction mixture. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20090305437 | FABRICATION OF INORGANIC MATERIALS USING TEMPLATES WITH LABILE LINKAGE - A method of forming an integrated circuit layer material is described, comprising depositing a layer of templates on a substrate, said template including a first binding site having an affinity for the substrate, a second binding site having an affinity for a target integrated circuit material and a protecting material coupled to the second binding site via a labile linkage to prevent the binding site from binding to the target integrated circuit material; exposing the template to an external stimulus to degrade the labile linkage; removing the protecting material; and binding the integrated circuit material to the second binding site. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20090321113 | HIGH CONTRAST TRANSPARENT CONDUCTORS AND METHODS OF FORMING THE SAME - Methods of enhancing contrast ratio of conductive nanostructure-based transparent conductors are described. Contrast ratio is significantly improved by reduction of light scattering and reflectivity of the nanostructures through steps of plating the conductive nanostructures followed by etching or oxidizing the underlying conductive nanostructures. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20090321364 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FILTERING NANOWIRES - In order to filter a solution containing nanowires, a flow of the solution is generated and directed through a passage defining an aperture having a narrow width. Alternatively, a flow of the solution may be generated and directed over a micro-structured surface configured to filter the solution. | 12-31-2009 |
