  • Publication number: 20030207331
    Abstract: This invention relates to encoding methods using up-converting phosphors for high-throughput screening of catalysts. In particular, the invention relates to polymerization catalysts. In one embodiment of the invention, a monomer is combined with at least one labeled catalyst particle. The labeled catalyst particle comprises an up-converting phosphor label and a catalyst. The up-converting phosphor label identifies a particular catalyst. The monomer is polymerized to form a polymer bead surrounding the labeled catalyst particle. According to the invention, it is possible to combine two or more labeled catalyst particles in a commercially relevant large scale reactor to obtain direct comparison of different catalysts, and to avoid reactor effects that may occur when performed on the microscale. After the reaction, the resulting polymer beads are sorted, based on their size and/or phosphor labels.

  • Patent number: 6039894
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing activated, substantially monodisperse, phosphorescent particles and particles formed thereby. The method suspends substantially monodisperse, phosphor-precursor particles in a fluidizing gas and then introduces a reactive gas to contact the suspended phosphor-precursor particles. Heating the suspended phosphor-precursor particles to a reaction temperature then forms unactivated phosphorescent particles. In another embodiment, the phosphor-precursor particles may be heated to a reaction temperature where they decompose to form the unactivated phosphor particles. The unactivated phosphorescent particles suspended within the fluidizing gas are activated by heating the unactivated phosphorescent particles to an activation temperature forming activated, substantially monodisperse, phosphorescent particles.
