Patents by Inventor Gerard Ferey

Gerard Ferey 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).

  • Publication number: 20100226991
    Abstract: The invention relates to solid organometallic hybrids with modified surface. Said solid may be used for example for the encapsulation and vectoring of molecules of interest such as active pharmaceutical agents, compounds of interest in cosmetics and markers, for example, contrast agents. Said solids show good results in terms of loading capacity in medicament agents and in biocompatibility.

  • Publication number: 20100209354
    Abstract: The invention relates to nanoparticles made from organometallic hybrid materials made from iron carboxylates, used for example as contrast agents. The particles can also be used for the encapsulation and vectoring of molecules of interest such as active3 pharmaceutical agents, cosmetically interesting compounds and markers. Apart from the intrinsic properties thereof for imaging, said nanoparticles give good results in terms of capacity for loading with medicaments and in biocompatibility.

  • Publication number: 20090227446
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing iron-containing porous organic-inorganic hybrid materials where the organic compound ligand is bonded to a central metal and has a large surface area and pores of molecular size or nano size, by irradiating microwaves instead of heat treatments such as the conventional electric heating, etc. as the heat source of the hydrothermal or solvothermal synthesis reaction, after reacting a metal or metal salt and organic compound to form crystal nuclei by a predetermined pre-treatment operation in the presence of a solvent. In another aspect, a method of the present invention further comprises the step of purifying the obtained porous organic-inorganic hybrid materials by treating them with inorganic salt. In particular, a method of the present invention is characterized by not using a hydrofluoric acid.
