  • Publication number: 20240132410
    Abstract: The invention presents a near-infrared photothermal coupling curing non-oxide ceramic slurry, along with its preparation method and application. The ceramic slurry consists of various raw materials, with weight fractions as follows: non-oxide ceramic powder (40˜90 parts), photosensitive resin (0.5˜20 parts), photosensitive monomer (1˜40 parts), photoinitiator (0.25˜4 parts), thermal initiator (0.25˜4 parts), additive (0.75˜5 parts), and up-conversion luminescent material (0.5˜4 parts). The non-oxide ceramic powders can include Si3N4, TiN, BN, AlN, SiC, WC, TiC, ZrC, TiB2, and ZrB2. By combining the photochemical and photothermal dual curing system using near-infrared up-conversion, this invention addresses the issue of insufficient curing encountered in single photocuring or thermal curing processes.

  • Patent number: 11938673
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a compatible thermoplastic material (film, sheet, or raft) as the base sheet or layer for 3-D printing an article. The use of the base film provides a means of printing a large article, and of reducing warpage by printing directly on the film. The printed article adheres to the film better than to traditional printer surfaces (glass, metal, glue, or reusable films), because the printed article and film weld together by forming chain entanglements, due to being compatible, miscible, or semi-miscible in the melt.

  • Patent number: 11845792
    Abstract: This application provides, inter alia, antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof, targeting cell surface GRP78 expressed on tumor cells, tumor endothelial cells, and tumor initiating cancer cells. These anti-GRP78 antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, have a high affinity for GRP78 and are less immunogenic compared to their unmodified parent antibodies in a given species, e.g., a human, and function to inhibit GRP78. Importantly, these isolated novel antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof, attenuate PI3K signaling and promote apoptosis in tumor cells, while leaving normal cells unaffected. The antibodies and antigen-binding fragments are useful for UPR-targeted cancer therapeutic treatments.
