  • Patent number: 7931943
    Abstract: Process for forming a coated article by (a) depositing a layer of an omega functionalized organophosphorous compound on an oxide substrate; (b) heating the substrate of step (a) to a temperature sufficient to bond the omega functionalized organophosphorous compound to the oxide substrate; (c) depositing a separate layer onto the layer produced by step (b); and (d) bonding the layers produced by steps (b) and (c) through the omega functional group.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 14, 2007
    Date of Patent: April 26, 2011
    Assignee: The Trustees of Princeton University
    Inventors: Jeffrey Schwartz, Michael Danahy, Michael Avaltroni, Jing Guo
  • Patent number: 7691478
    Abstract: Structures comprising substrates comprised of an organic material capable of accepting a proton from an organophosphorous compound and a film of the organophosphorous compound bonded to the substrate are disclosed. The structures are useful in a variety of applications such as visual display devices.

  • Publication number: 20050031910
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process for providing on the surface of a substrate an adherent phorphorous acid-based coating layer, the method comprising contacting said surface with a carrier conveying a coating composition comprising an acid selected from the group consisting of phosphoroic acids, organo-phosphoric acids, phosphonic acids, and mixtures thereof, at a sufficient temperature and for a sufficient time to bond at least a portion of the acid in the compositon to the oxide surface.

  • Patent number: 6645644
    Abstract: Ligand-containing coating layers on the surface of hydroxide-bearing substrates comprising transition metal atoms selected from the group consisting of Group IVB, Group VB and Group VIB of the Periodic Chart covalently bonded to the surface hydroxyls of said substrate, wherein each transition metal atom is further covalently bonded to one or more ligands of said coating layer, thereby covalently bonding said coating layer to said substrate. Disclosed ligands include inorganic phosphates and organic phosphonates.
