Patents by Inventor Gregory Slack

Gregory Slack 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).

  • Use of self-assembled nanoporous glass colloids for prolongation of plasticity of polymeric materials
    Patent number: 9822233
    Abstract: This invention describes the encapsulation of and self-assembly of meso (nano) porous silica particles from inorganic an inexpensive silica precursor, sodium silicate. The particles have a well defined shape, high surface area, and high uniformity of the pore size, the properties that are typically found for high quality mesoporous material synthesized from organic silica precursors. The disclosure illustrates a synthesis of hard spheres, discoids, and a mixture comprising discoids, gyroids and fibers, termed as origami.
