Patent number: 11225438Abstract: The invention provides novel paving stones and construction block composite materials and methods for preparation thereof. The paving stones and construction block composite materials can be readily produced from widely available, low cost precursor materials by a production process that involves compacting in a mold that is suitable for large-scale production. The precursor materials include calcium silicate, for example, wollastonite, and particulate filler materials which can comprise silicon dioxide-rich materials. Additives can include calcium carbonate-rich and magnesium carbonate-rich materials. Various additives can be used to fine-tune the physical appearance and mechanical properties of the composite material, such as colorants such as particles of colored materials, such as, and pigments (e.g., black iron oxide, cobalt oxide and chromium oxide).Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2019Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: SOLIDIA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Francis Henn, Deepak Ravikumar, John P. Kuppler, Kenneth Smith, Oguzhan Oflaz, Dawid Zambrzycki, Vahit Atakan

Patent number: 10668443Abstract: The invention provides a curing system that is useful for curing materials that consume carbon dioxide as a reagent. The system has a curing chamber that contains the material to be cured and a gas that contains carbon dioxide. The system includes apparatus that can deliver carbon dioxide to displace ambient air upon loading the system, that can provide carbon dioxide as it is needed and as it is consumed, that can control carbon dioxide concentration, temperature and humidity in the curing chamber during the curing cycle and that can record and display to a user the variables that occur during the curing process. A method of curing a material which requires CO2 as a curing reagent is also described.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: Solidia Technologies, Ltd.Inventors: John P. Kuppler, Vahit Atakan, Kenneth Smith, Xudong Hu

Patent number: 9266147Abstract: A method of producing a monolithic ceramic body from a porous matrix includes providing a porous matrix having interstitial spaces, providing an infiltrating medium comprising a solvent and at least one reactive species, and infiltrating at least a portion of the interstitial space of the porous matrix with the infiltrating medium. The solvent is an inert medium that is not chemically reactive with the porous matrix, and is in a liquid phase when in the portion of the interstitial space of the porous matrix. The infiltrating medium is mechanically convected through the porous matrix. The at least one reactive species, when in a portion of the interstitial space of the porous matrix, reacts with a portion of the porous matrix to form a product, and the product fills at least a portion of the interstitial space.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2013Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: RUTGERS, THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEYInventors: Richard E.
