  • BIOCOMPATIBLE QUANTUM DOT SENSOR
    Publication number: 20220050099
    Abstract: A sensor uses a combination of biocompatible quantum dots and an organic fluorophore in a controlled ratio. The organic fluorophore exhibits fluorescence of a first color, and the biocompatible quantum dots are sized to exhibit fluorescence of a second color different from the first color. The biocompatible quantum dots are functionalized with an organic coating arranged to chemically interact with a substance to quench the fluorescence of the quantum dots. The sensor exhibits a ratio of fluorescence of the quantum dots and the organic fluorophore from which a presence of the substance can be detected.

  • Method for depositing silicon nanocrystals in hollow fibers
    Patent number: 9452446
    Abstract: A method for depositing a layer of silicon nanocrystals upon the inside surface of hollow fibers is disclosed. In particular, the method includes inserting a hollow glass fiber into a solution of hydrogen silsesquioxane, removing the solvent and heating the hollow glass fiber to a temperature suitable to form silicon nanocrystals, and subsequently cooling the hollow glass fiber.

  • Preparation of iron or iron oxide nanoparticles
    Patent number: 7985398
    Abstract: The present teachings are directed towards a thermolysis method of producing iron-containing nanoparticles by providing an iron-containing component, a colloid stabilizing component, and an amount of water. The iron-containing component, the colloid stabilizing component, and the amount of water form a mixture, which is then heated to a temperature sufficient to form iron-containing nanoparticles, which are then isolated from the mixture. Another method is also provided which involves a repetitive shell growth method of producing iron-containing nanoparticles by providing a first amount of an iron-containing component and a colloid stabilizing component; the iron-containing component and the colloid stabilizing component are then mixed and heated to a temperature sufficient to form iron-containing nanoparticles.

  • Preparation of iron-titanium nanoparticles
    Patent number: 7632332
    Abstract: The present teachings are directed towards methods of producing iron and titanium-containing nanoparticles by reducing iron and titanium-containing precursors with alkali or alkaline-earth metal-containing reducing agents in the presence of a suitable surfactant, and by the thermolysis of iron and titanium-containing precursors without alkali or alkaline-earth metal-containing reducing agents present.
