  • NANOFIBERS, NANOFILMS AND METHODS OF MAKING/USING THEREOF
    Publication number: 20120040462
    Abstract: Described herein are compositions for making nanofibers and nanofilms composed of metal oxides, organic polymers, or combinations thereof. Also described herein are methods for making nanofibers and nanofilms where the fibers are formed from a solution having more than one solvent, where the solvents are immiscible. Nanofibers and nanofilms composed of metal oxides, organic polymers or combinations thereof are described. Finally, methods for using the nanofibers and nanofilms are described.

  • ORDERED MESOPOROUS CARBONS AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME
    Publication number: 20090214413
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an ordered mesoporous carbon and method for manufacturing the ordered mesoporous carbon which is made from a surfactant, a carbon precursor, water (possibly mixed with an acid) and a water immiscible oil. In addition, the present invention relates to a method of formulating a composition which is used to manufacture the ordered mesoporous carbon. Moreover, the present invention relates to an activated carbon which is made by partially oxidizing an ordered mesoporous carbon.

  • Two-layer protective coating system for LCD glass
    Patent number: 6896928
    Abstract: Two-layer protective coating system for glass surfaces is disclosed. The base coating comprises at least one polysaccharide, and the top coating has a lower solubility in water than the base coating. The coating system provides good protection against contaminants and glass chips, good removability in mild cleaning condition, and extra water resistance during process steps where water is used as a cooling agent.
