  • Thermally switchable composition
    Patent number: 9040629
    Abstract: A composition including a stimulus-responsive polymer, a base polymer and a catalyst, wherein the surface free energy of the stimulus-responsive polymer is reversibly adjustable from a first surface free energy state to a second surface free energy state when heated to an activation temperature, and wherein the base polymer does not include a platinum catalyst is described. A method of preparing the composition and a method of adjusting a surface free energy of the composition is also described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 7, 2013
    Date of Patent: May 26, 2015
    Assignee: XEROX CORPORATION
    Inventors: Gabriel Iftime, Gordon Sisler, Carolyn Moorlag, Matthew Heuft, Gail Song, Brynn Dooley

  • Compounds comprising a linear series of five fused carbon rings, and preparation thereof
    Publication number: 20050274945
    Abstract: The present application discloses methods for the production of organic compounds comprising a linear series of five fused carbon rings. Such compounds are useful in the production of electronic components, devices and materials. For example the methods disclosed permit the production of 2,9- and 2,10-disubstituted pentacene compounds that present particularly advantageous properties for the manufacture of semiconductor materials, and may be used in devices such as for example thin film transistors and solar cells. Also disclosed are compounds that are excellent candidates for use in the manufacture of semiconductor materials, and other components of electronic systems, by virtue of their solubility, crystal packing geometries, and electronic properties.
