  • Methods for fabricating micro-to-nanoscale devices via biologically-induced solid formation on biologically-derived templates, and micro-to-nanoscale structures and micro-to-nanoscale devices made thereby
    Publication number: 20070112548
    Abstract: The focus of this invention is the combined use of: i) one or more biological agents to promote the precipitation of one or more desired solids onto ii) a biologically-assembled 3-D microscale-to-nanoscale structure. That is, the solid precipitation and the 3-D structural assembly are both conducted with the aid of biology. The biologically-derived 3-D structures may assembled by a biological organism, by a component of a biological organism, by a biological molecule, or by combinations thereof. One or more biological agents is/are used to promote the precipitation of one or more new solids onto the biologically-derived 3-D structure.

  • Method for fabricating high-melting, wear-resistant ceramics and ceramic composites at low temperatures
    Patent number: 6598656
    Abstract: This invention relates to methods and apparatus useful in the ceramics industry. More specifically, this invention relates to the fabrication of high melting, wear-resistant ceramics and ceramic composites at low temperatures. The method involves reacting (1) a fluid formed from melting a metal alloy, comprising at least one reactive metal and at least one non-reactive metal, and having a melting temperature substantially below the product material melting point, typically below about 1500 C., with (2) a rigid, porous material. The reaction should occur for a sufficient time to allow the liquid to infiltrate the porous material and allow the active metal(s) to react with the porous material so as to form a ceramic or ceramic composite having a melting temperature substantially higher than 1500 C.
