Patents by Inventor Hung-Tao CHEN

Hung-Tao CHEN 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).

  • Patent number: 11331723
    Abstract: A light metal joint filler is provided. The light metal joint filler is formed by uniformly mixing a solvent with a light metal powder and a silver powder, where a powder particle size of the light metal powder is on a micron scale, and a powder particle size of the silver powder is on a nanometer scale or a submicron scale. A metal joining method of the present disclosure includes: coating a joint of two to-be-joined light metal pieces with the light metal joint filler; and hot pressing the two to-be-joined light metal pieces, so that the silver powder is sintered and bonded with the light metal powder and surfaces of the two to-be-joined light metal pieces, and completing joining of the two to-be-joined light metal pieces after the silver powder is condensed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9966168
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a conductive thin film includes the following steps: forming a polymer fiber made of a polymer and a metal precursor distributed in a surface layer near the surface of the polymer fiber; and applying a plasma treatment on the polymer fiber to concurrently etch the polymer and reduce the metal precursor in the surface layer of the polymer fiber. When the plasma treatment is completed, a metal membrane is formed on the surface of the polymer fiber.

  • Patent number: 9506148
    Abstract: A method for forming a flexible transparent conductive film includes steps of: (a) electrospinning a first solution, which contains a polymer, a solvent and a metal ion-containing precursor, to form an polymeric fiber onto a soluble substrate; (b) providing energy to reduce the metal ion-containing precursor of the polymeric fiber, so as to form metal seeds on the polymeric fiber; and (c) placing the polymeric fiber together with the soluble substrate into a second solution, such that the soluble substrate dissolves in the second solution to form an electroless-plating bath and such that the polymeric fiber is subjected to electroless plating to form a metal coating from the metal seeds.
