  • CHALCOGENIDE HYBRID INORGANIC/ORGANIC POLYMER (CHIP) MATERIALS AS IMPROVED CROSSLINKING AGENTS FOR VULCANIZATION
    Publication number: 20230331940
    Abstract: Methods of vulcanization using a high content sulfur polymer, instead of elemental sulfur, have been developed. These high sulfur content polymers are referred to as Chalcogenide Hybrid Inorganic/Organic Polymers (CHIP) materials and have good polymer compatibility in that they are soluble in a number of polymers. Furthermore, CHIP materials may have weaker bonds than the S—S bonds of elemental sulfur and thus provide for a higher crosslinking efficiency vulcanization.

  • High Verdet Constant Nanoparticles and Methods For Producing and Using the Same
    Publication number: 20220153902
    Abstract: The present invention provides a composition comprising a plurality of magnetic nanocomposite particles. The magnetic nanocomposite particle comprises a magnetic metallic nanoparticle and a plurality of organic polymer ligands attached to its surface. The composition can also include a host matrix, such as a polymer, in which the magnetic nanocomposite particles are interspersed therein. The compositions of the invention have the Verdet constant of at least 5000°/T-m.
