Patents by Inventor Cecile Malardier-Jugroot

Cecile Malardier-Jugroot has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Polymer-supported metal nanoparticles, process for production thereof and polymeric nanoreactors produced therefrom
    Patent number: 10066050
    Abstract: A process for producing polymer-supported metal nanoparticles involves confinement of metal nanoparticles in polymeric nanotubes or nanosheets in an aqueous environment using hydrophobic reactants. Metal nanoparticles supported in the polymeric nanotubes or nanosheets are substantially monodisperse and have an average particle size of 4 nm or less. The polymer-supported metal nanoparticles are useful in fuel cells, sensors, bioanalysis, biological labeling or semi-conductors, especially as catalysts.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 17, 2017
    Date of Patent: September 4, 2018
    Inventors: Cecile Malardier-Jugroot, Michael Nelson Groves, Manish Jugroot

  • Method for Fabricating Intrinsically Conducting Polymer Nanorods
    Publication number: 20080265219
    Abstract: A method for synthetizing nanorods, comprising using self-assembled defect free nanotubes formed in water at room temperature and the nanorods are synthesised within the nanotubes in water at room temperature. The size of the nanorods obtained is well defined due to the well-defined size of the self-assembled nanotubes. In addition, the nanorods synthesised by this method may be doped to improve the conductivity and to obtain p and n nanowires.
