  • Publication number: 20240166569
    Abstract: Methods of making templated materials using BCP-derived templates, nanocomposites and compositions. The methods use pressure to fill a BCP-derived template with an inorganic material or materials and/or organic material or organic materials to form a templated material. A nanocomposite, which may be a templated material, may include an inorganic material or materials and/N or organic material or materials defining a three-dimensional space and a BCP-derived material disposed on at least a portion of the inorganic material(s) and/or organic material(s). A composition, which may be a templated material where the BCP-derived template is removed, may include an inorganic material or materials and/or organic material or materials defining a three-dimensional space. A device may include nanocomposite(s) and/or composition(s). A device may be an electronic device, energy device, a sensor, or the like.

  • Publication number: 20220396484
    Abstract: Asymmetric porous films, methods of making, and devices. An asymmetric porous film may have a surface layer, which may be an isoporous surface layer, disposed on a substructure, which may be a graded porous substructure that may have mesopores throughout. An asymmetric porous film may be a hybrid asymmetric porous film comprising one or more precursor(s). An asymmetric porous film may include one or more carbon material(s), one or more metalloid oxide(s), one or more metal(s), one or more metal oxide(s), one or more metal nitride(s), one or more metal oxynitride(s), one or more metal carbide(s), one or more metal carbonitrides, or a combination thereof. A method of making an asymmetric porous film may comprise formation of an asymmetric porous film using CA a mixture comprising a multiblock copolymer that can self-assemble and one or more precursor(s).
