Patents by Inventor Matt McInnis

Matt McInnis 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).

  • Graphite oxide and polyacrylonitrile based composite
    Patent number: 11482348
    Abstract: The present method includes graphene, preferably in the form of flat graphene oxide flakes with, by mass, preferably between 0.5% and 35% PAN. The graphene oxide and conductive-polymer PAN is in a co-suspension in water and is co-deposited on a surface. The deposited PAN with a high-percentage graphene-oxide layer is dried. Our tests have produced electrical conductivities 1000 times more conductive than the PAN by itself. Our testing indicates that using flakes that are flat is essential to getting very high conductivity, and that controlled oxidation is very important in suspending graphene oxide in water.
