  • FOAMED COMPOSITIONS, FOAM PADDED MATERIALS, AND PACKAGING ARTICLES
    Publication number: 20240117138
    Abstract: Disclosed are polymeric foamed compositions, foam padded materials that include such polymeric foamed compositions disposed on a sheet material, and packaging articles (e.g., envelopes) made from such foam padded materials. The polymeric foamed composition on the sheet material has a plurality of foamed structures formed from the foamable composition attached to the sheet material by a layer of the foamable composition, and the plurality foam structures each having a hollow core and a foam exterior shell.

  • Nanomaterial preparation method
    Patent number: 11939220
    Abstract: Described is a method of preparing transition metal nanoparticles on a graphene support, in which a tertiary graphite intercalation compound is provided with intercalated metal ions such that the tertiary graphite intercalation compound comprises a graphene sheet having a negative charge. The graphene sheet is contacted with a transition metal salt to cause reduction of the transition metal salt by the graphene sheet, and to form transition metal nanoparticles. Also described are products arising from the method, and uses of those products.

  • Airfoil-based air turbine
    Patent number: 11187207
    Abstract: A compact air turbine configured to convert some of the energy from a stream of passing air into electrical energy. The turbine is placed on a moving vehicle in a location where drag is occurring and may in fact be placed in a location where additional drag is desirable. The preferred embodiments incorporate a movable inlet ramp or door to aid in self-starting and increase efficiency.
