Publication number: 20250145475Abstract: In an embodiment, a method includes producing a mixed feedstock of at least three halogenated monomer feedstocks. A first of the at least three halogenated monomer feedstocks includes an SP3 carbon, a second of the at least three halogenated monomer feedstocks includes an SP2 carbon, and a third of the at least three halogenated monomer feedstocks includes at least two SP1 carbons. The method further includes producing a polyorbital-hybrid pre-ceramic polymer comprising the SP1 carbons, the SP2 carbon, and the SP3 carbon. The polyorbital-hybrid pre-ceramic polymer is produced by reducing the mixed feedstock such that one or more halogen atoms are removed from the mixed feedstock. The method also includes fabricating the polyorbital-hybrid pre-ceramic polymer into a greenware form and producing a polyorbital-hybrid ceramic carbon comprising the SP1 carbons, the SP2 carbon, and the SP3 carbon. The polyorbital-hybrid ceramic carbon is produced by thermolyzing the polyorbital pre-ceramic polymer.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2024Publication date: May 8, 2025Applicant: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventor: David Glen Findley

Publication number: 20240158986Abstract: This invention relates to a method for dyeing fabrics, yarns and fibers using microorganisms whereby the adsorption of dye-containing microorganisms onto textile fibers is improved using carbon sources above a threshold concentration. Dye molecules contained within the microorganism are released from the microorganism and fixed directly and locally to the textile fibers using a heat treatment step. Said heat treatment also deactivates the carrier microorganisms. Single or multiple microorganism species, and single or multiple dyes produced by said single or multiple microorganism species may create a variety of textile colors. Suitable synthetic dyes may also be added before, during or after microorganisms have produced dyes but before the dye-releasing heat treatment step.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: David Glen Hastie Nugent, Orr Yarkoni, James Ajioke
