  • Sulfur-modified zinc oxide
    Patent number: 7264671
    Abstract: The present invention relates to particles or powders of a compound of formula Zn1?yMyO1?xSx, wherein x has a value in the range from 0.01 to 0.08, M represents a divalent metal and y has a value in the range from 0 to 0.2, the compound having a wurtzite structure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 4, 2006
    Date of Patent: September 4, 2007
    Assignee: Universitat Hannover
    Inventors: Michael Binnewies, Sonja Locmelis
  • Functionalization of oxidic particle surfaces, particles thus obtained, and the use thereof
    Publication number: 20070014917
    Abstract: A method for the surface modification of particles containing oxidic compounds of metals and/or semimetals M having M-O—H groups on the surface thereof. The particles are contacted with silicon-halogen compounds under conditions such that the M-O—H groups react with the silicon-halogen compounds. The particles thus produced can have Si—OH, Si-Halogen, and/or Si-Organic Radical groups in a density of at least two such groups per nm2 surface and/or have at least four carbon atoms corresponding to the Si-Organic Radical groups per nm2 of surface.
