  • Multifunctional fluorescent and MRI-active nanostructure
    Patent number: 11504437
    Abstract: A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) enhancement agent includes a plurality of particles, each particle including: a metal core; a dielectric shell disposed on the metal core comprising at least one MRI contrast agent; and a metal shell disposed on the exterior surface of the dielectric shell that encapsulates the dielectric shell.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 15, 2017
    Date of Patent: November 22, 2022
    Assignees: WILLIAM MARSH RICE UNIVERSITY, BAYLOR COLLEGE OF MEDICINE

  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING UNIDIRCTIONAL CARBON FIBER TAPE AS WELL AS METHOD FOR SURFACE TREATING CARBON FIBERS
    Publication number: 20200240047
    Abstract: The method for producing a unidirectional carbon fiber tape, the method comprising: passing a first portion of a strand of fiber through an oven to carbonize the first portion, thereby converting carbon fiber precursor fiber of the first portion to carbon fiber, wherein the first portion comprises carbon fiber precursor fiber; and impregnating the carbon fiber of the first portion with thermoplastic matrix material to form impregnated fiber, while a second portion of the strand of fiber that is upstream of the first portion is passing through the oven to convert carbon fiber precursor fiber of the second portion to additional carbon fiber.
