  • Nanoparticle organic hybrid materials (NOHMS)
    Patent number: 9440849
    Abstract: A nanoparticle organic hybrid material (NOHM) containing an organic polymeric corona having a molecular weight in a range of 100-50,000 g/mol, wherein the organic polymeric corona is covalently attached to an inorganic nanoparticle core, wherein the NOHM exhibits liquid-like properties so that the NOHM moves freely and flows in a manner so that when the NOHM is in a container, the NOHM takes the shape of the container, and wherein the NOHM has a volume fraction (fc) of the inorganic particle ranging from about 0.05 to 0.75, methods of making the NOHMs, and compositions containing the NOHMs.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 15, 2010
    Date of Patent: September 13, 2016
    Assignee: Cornell University
    Inventors: Lynden A. Archer, Laura Lynne Olenick, Jennifer Lyn Schaefer, Alexandra Elena Corona
