  • Carbene-Functionalized Composite Materials
    Publication number: 20240173741
    Abstract: The present application provides stable, carbene-functionalized composite materials, and methods and uses thereof. These carbene-functionalized composite materials comprise a material having a metal surface, and a carbene monolayer that is uniform, contaminant-free (metal oxide, etc), and more stable than thiol-functionalized monolayers. Uses of such carbene-functionalized composite materials include semi-conducting materials, microelectronic devices, drug delivery or sensing applications.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 27, 2023
    Publication date: May 30, 2024
    Inventors: Cathleen M. Crudden, J. Hugh Horton, Olena V. Zenkina, Iraklii I. Ebralidze, Christene Anne Smith
