Kenneth H. Skorenko 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).

  • Increased thermal stabilization of optical absorbers
    Patent number: 10459121
    Abstract: Compositions for increasing the thermal stability of optical absorbers are provided as well as methods of making and using the resulting compositions. The compositions or complexes of the present teachings generally include an optical absorber bound to a metal or a metal oxide through one or more linkers, which contain a metal binding moiety.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 31, 2017
    Date of Patent: October 29, 2019
    Assignees: The Research Foundation for the State University of New York, Crysta-Lyn Chemical Company, Inc.
    Inventors: William E. Bernier, Megan Fegley, Bradley Galusha, Francis D. Goroleski, Wayne E. Jones, Kenneth H. Skorenko
  • Conductive films and devices comprised thereof
    Patent number: 9920220
    Abstract: Embodiments of films and material layers comprising PEDOT. These embodiments are the result of methods that utilize polymerization processes including vapor phase polymerization (VPP) to form the conductive film comprising PEDOT. In one embodiment, the film can result from a method that includes steps for depositing a coating solution onto a substrate, exposing the substrate to a monomer source, and cleaning the substrate after polymerization. The coating solution can comprise an initiating oxidant, which facilitates growth of PEDOT from 3,4 ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT), as well as a quenching agent that neutralizes acid that results from polymerization.

  • CONDUCTIVE FILMS AND DEVICES COMPRISED THEREOF
    Publication number: 20140272342
    Abstract: Embodiments of films and material layers comprising PEDOT. These embodiments are the result of methods that utilize polymerization processes including vapor phase polymerization (VPP) to form the conductive film comprising PEDOT. In one embodiment, the film can result from a method that includes steps for depositing a coating solution onto a substrate, exposing the substrate to a monomer source, and cleaning the subsrate after polymerization. The coating solution can comprise an initiating oxidant, which facilitates growth of PEDOT from 3,4 ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT), as well as a quenching agent that neutralizes acid that results from polymerization.
