  • Publication number: 20260008098
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for producing particles of typically reactive materials that have reduced reactivity and/or environmental interactions by having cannabinoids on the surface of the particles. In example embodiments, the particles are of micron and sub-micron sized. Embodiments produce microparticles coated with cannabinoids by reducing a metal salt in water in the presence of cannabinoids. Copper microparticles created in this way are produced in one reaction step at low temperature and short reaction times. Copper microparticles coated with cannabinoids have improved resistance to oxidation and are able to form conductive composites that have conductivity greater than 7×106 S/m with a low heat treatment temperature of 90° C. Cannabinoid coated particles can also be created by adding cannabinoids to existing particles. Adding cannabinoids to bare copper particles can reverse surface oxidation of the particles.
