  • Polymer composite with liquid phase metal inclusions
    Patent number: 11232883
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a composite comprising an elastomer with an embedded network of liquid metal inclusions. The composite retains similar flexibility to that of an elastomer but exhibits electrical and thermal properties that differ from the properties of a homogeneous elastomer. The composite has applications for wearable devices and other soft matter electronics, among others.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 13, 2020
    Date of Patent: January 25, 2022
    Assignee: CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY, a Pennsylvania Non-Profit Corporation
    Inventors: Carmel Majidi, Andrew Fassler, Michael Bartlett, Navid Kazem, Matthew J. Powell-Palm, Jonathan A. Malen
  • SOLUTION-PROCESSABLE SUPERATOMIC THIN-FILMS
    Publication number: 20210002536
    Abstract: Ionic superatomic materials that can be solution-processed into completely amorphous and homogeneous thin films are disclosed herein. The amorphous materials disclosed herein have tunable compositions and have electrical conductivities of up to 300 siemens per meter, thermal conductivities of 0.05 watt per meter per degree Kelvin, and optical transparencies of up to 92%. Application of these thin-films are also provided herein.
