Abstract: Organic polymeric bi-metallic alkoxide or aryloxide composites are used as dielectric materials in various devices with improved properties such as improved mobility. These composites comprise a poly(meth)acrylate or polyester having metal coordination sites, and the same or different bi-metallic alkoxide or aryloxide molecules that are coordinated with the organic polymer. The bi-metallic alkoxide or aryloxide molecules can be represented by Structure (I) shown herein. Such composites are generally soluble at room temperature in various organic solvents and be provided in homogeneous organic solvent solutions that can be suitably applied to a substrate to form dielectric materials.

Abstract: A thiosulfate polymer composition includes an electron-accepting photosensitizer component, either as a separate compound or as an attachment to the thiosulfate polymer. The thiosulfate polymer composition can be used in methods to form predetermined patterns of metal nanoparticles.

Abstract: Semi-permeable particle can be used to facilitate chemical reactions. The semi-permeable particles are permeable to molecules having a molar mass of 1000 Daltons or less, have a mode particle size of at least 1 ?m, and comprise nanoparticles of catalytically active metallic materials disposed within at least some of multiple discrete cavities in the continuous polymeric phase. The nanoparticles of catalytically active metallic materials (a) comprise one or more elements selected from Groups 8, 9, 10, and 11 of the Periodic Table, and (b) have an effective diameter of at least 1 nm and up to and including 200 nm.

Abstract: Organic polymeric multi-metallic alkoxide or aryloxide composites are used as dielectric materials in various devices with improved properties such as improved mobility. These composites comprise an organic polymer comprising metal coordination sites, and multi-metallic alkoxide or aryloxide molecules that are coordinated with the organic polymer, the multi-metallic alkoxide or aryloxide molecules being represented by: (M)n(OR)x wherein at least one M is a metal selected from Group 2 of the Periodic Table and at least one other M is a metal selected from any of Groups 3 to 12 and Rows 4 and 5 of the Periodic Table, n is an integer of at least 2, R represents the same or different alkyl or aryl groups, and x is an integer of at least 2.

Abstract: A solution of soluble metal, soluble polymer, and a suitable solvent is converted into a gel body having a surface area to volume ratio no greater than 10. The gel body is converted to inorganic foam. Foams of metal oxide, metal nitride foam, metal carbide foam, metal selenide, and elemental metal were prepared. Several of the foams are (a) molybdenum carbide and molybdenum nitride, (b) TiO, (c) copper selenide, (d) copper indium selenide, (e) molybdenum carbide, molybdenum nitride, and platinum, and (f) ruthenium dioxide.
