  • Patent number: 12263637
    Abstract: A device for producing a 3D-printed active substance-releasing system with active substance depots, such that a radiation source in operation causes a polymerisation of a layer of the base material on the construction platform and that an inkjet printhead incorporates an active substance mixture, which has at least one active substance, into the base material in a locationally selective manner. A trough is provided, in which a base material and a construction platform are arranged, and polymerising selected regions of a layer of the base material on the construction platform and introducing, by means of an inkjet printing method, an active substance mixture, which has at least one active substance, into the base material and/or polymerised base material in a locationally selective manner in order to thereby create active ingredient depots in the active ingredient-releasing system.

  • Patent number: 10273405
    Abstract: Colloidal perovskite nanoplatelets can provide a material platform, with tunability extending from the deep UV, across the visible, into the near-IR. The high degree of spectral tunability can be achieved through variation of the cation, metal, and halide composition as well as nanoplatelet thickness.

  • Patent number: 9693551
    Abstract: The present invention relates to non-aqueous pesticidal dispersible concentrate formulations comprising from about 2 to about 10% of at least one pesticidal agent, from about 15 to about 25% of hexylene glycol, from about 65 to about 75% of propylene glycol, a hydrophobic silica, and a surfactant, wherein the weight percentages are based on the total weight of the formulation. Formulations of the present invention have superior storage stability but are non-phytotoxic to seeds when used as a seed treatment. The present invention also relates to ready-to-use products made from the concentrated formulations of the present invention. Further, the present invention includes methods of using the pesticidal dispersible concentrate formulations and ready-to-use products to achieve superior plant protection and disease control.
