  • Patent number: 8697233
    Abstract: A metal-coated material comprising a metal-coated lipid bilayer vesicle and a preparation method thereof are provided. A metal-coated material comprising a metal-coated lipid bilayer vesicle having a network of siloxane bonding (Si—O—Si) on its surface. a method for preparing the metal-coated lipid bilayer vesicle comprising the following steps: (1) rendering the functional group(s) having the ability of carrying the metal catalyst to the surface of lipid bilayer vesicle having a network of siloxane bonding (Si—O—Si bonding) on its surface, at or after the formation, by self-organization, of the lipid bilayer vesicle; (2) immobilizing the metal catalyst on the surface of the lipid bilayer vesicle; (3) optionally, reducing the metal catalyst; and (4) performing electroless plating.

  • Publication number: 20050129935
    Abstract: A high-strength, self-supporting thin-film material is provided, which can be widely used and enables accurate structure designing thereof and which can be produced in a simple manner. The thin-film material comprises a polymer thin-film layer that presents a hydroxyl group or a carboxyl group on the surface thereof, and a metal oxide thin-film layer or organic/metal oxide composite thin-film layer that bonds to a polymer thin-film layer in a mode of coordinate bonding or covalent bonding by utilizing the hydroxyl group or the carboxyl group, and has an overall thickness of at most 300 nm.
