Patents by Inventor Mehran Umerani

Mehran Umerani 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).

  • Quinolines, polyquinolines, molecular segments of fullerenes and graphene nanoribbons, and graphene nanoribbons and methods of their synthesis
    Patent number: 11945780
    Abstract: Quinolines, polyquinolines, polybenzoquinolines, molecular segments of fullerenes and graphene nanoribbons, and graphene nanoribbons and processes for producing such materials are provided. The processes utilize a form of an aza-Diels-Alder (Povarov) reaction to first form quinolines and/or polyquinolines. In some such embodiments polyquinolines thus produced are used to form graphene nanoribbon precursors, and molecular segments and graphene nanoribbons. In many such embodiments the graphene nanoribbone precursors are formed from polybenzoquinolines.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 22, 2021
    Date of Patent: April 2, 2024
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Alon Gorodetsky, David Joshua Dibble, Mehran Umerani, Amir Mazaheripour, Young Suk Park, Anthony Burke
