  • Superhydrophilic nanostructure
    Patent number: 9028958
    Abstract: An embodiment of a superhydrophilic nanostructure includes nanoparticles. The nanoparticles are formed into porous clusters. The porous clusters are formed into aggregate clusters. An embodiment of an article of manufacture includes the superhydrophilic nanostructure on a substrate. An embodiment of a method of fabricating a superhydrophilic nanostructure includes applying a solution that includes nanoparticles to a substrate. The substrate is heated to form aggregate clusters of porous clusters of the nanoparticles.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 6, 2010
    Date of Patent: May 12, 2015
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Samuel S. Mao, Vasileia Zormpa, Xiaobo Chen
