  • Patent number: 8802351
    Abstract: A water dispersible composition comprises a polyaniline copolymer having a weight average molecular weight of at least 30,000 and a polymeric acid comprising sulfonic acid groups. The polyaniline copolymer comprises i) about 10 mol % to about 15 mol % of a fluorine-containing first aniline repeat unit based on total moles of repeat units in the polyaniline copolymer, and ii) a second aniline repeat unit comprising no fluorine. The sulfonic acid groups of the polymeric acid are present in a molar amount greater than or equal to total moles of repeat units of the polyaniline copolymer. The composition has a conductivity of at least 0.0001 S/cm.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6218832
    Abstract: A method for nuclear magnetic resonance quantum computing (NMRQC) uses a liquid crystal solvent into which the quantum computing molecules are dissolved. The method allows implementation of more complex quantum algorithms which require execution of many logic gates over the duration of a decoherence time, allows NMRQC clock frequencies to be increased by at least an order of magnitude beyond those achievable using isotropic liquid solvents, and decreases the reinitialization times for a NMR quantum computer without decreasing the computational capability of the molecular systems.
