  • Laminate composite and method for making same
    Patent number: 8808861
    Abstract: An organic-based magnet is formed by molecular layer deposition (MLD) of a first compound and MLD of a second compound. The first or second compound containing a metal-containing compound. The first and second compounds being reactive with each other to form a first layer organic-based magnet. A laminate composite includes a first monolayer including a metal bonded to a magnet forming organic compound. A second monolayer may be in direct contact with the first monolayer. One of the first monolayer and the second monolayer having an induced magnetization when exposed to a magnetic field. A device includes the laminate composite and a nonmagnetic film thereon. A method of making an organic magnet on a substrate in a vacuum chamber includes depositing a first layer of metal-containing compound on the substrate by MLD.

  • Layer-by-layer fabrication method of sprayed nanopaper
    Patent number: 8574677
    Abstract: A layer-by-layer fabrication method of sprayed nanopaper is disclosed in the present invention. According to one embodiment, a plurality of nano-micro particles are suspended in a solvent to form a sprayable particle precursor. Afterwards, one or more sprayed nanopapers are formed by vacuum-assisted layer-by-layer spray of the sprayable particle precursor on a porous substrate.
