  • Patent number: 10254614
    Abstract: A process of making an electrochromic or an electrolytic film by Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis (USP) deposition on a substrate comprising: mixing a surfactant to an aqueous precursor solution comprising an electrochromic component or an electrolytic component to provide a spray solution; introducing the spray solution into an ultrasonic spray deposition nozzle at a constant flow rate between 0.1 mL/min and 2 mL/min and applying an ultrasonic frequency between 80 and 120 kHz to generate atomized droplets of the precursor solution; entraining the atomized droplets with a controlled jet of air as gas carrier at a pressure between 0.50 to 2.0 psi, onto a pre-heated substrate at a temperature of 200 to 450° C.; thermally converting the atomized droplets when depositing onto the pre-heated substrate to generate an electrochromic or an electrolytic film.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9115034
    Abstract: The invention relates to a ceramic particle mixture containing, as components, a predominant portion by weight of frittable particles made of a ceramic material and particles of at least one additive, at least one additive being a dispersed absorbent solid inorganic material which has, for a laser beam emitted at a predetermined wavelength, a specific absorptivity that is greater than the absorptivity of the other components of the ceramic mixture, and which drastically breaks down when gas is emitted in the presence of the laser beam, said additive being present in proportions of less than 5% of the dry weight. The invention also relates to ceramic parts produced from such a mixture.
