Patents by Inventor Lisa M. Viculis

Lisa M. Viculis 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).

  • Chemical manufacture of nanostructured materials
    Patent number: 6872330
    Abstract: A low temperature chemical route to efficiently produce nanomaterials is described. The nanomaterials are synthesized by intercalating ions into layered compounds, exfoliating to create individual layers and then sonicating to produce nanotubes, nanorods, nanoscrolls and/or nanosheets. It is applicable to various different layered inorganic compounds (for example, bismuth selenides/tellurides, graphite, and other metal complexes, particularly transition metal dichalcogenides compounds including oxygen, sulfur, tellurium or selenium).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 30, 2002
    Date of Patent: March 29, 2005
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Julia J Mack, Lisa M. Viculis, Richard B Kaner
