  • Method of producing graphene from a hydrocarbon gas and liquid metal catalysts
    Patent number: 10059591
    Abstract: Methods of producing graphene, reaction chambers for forming graphene, and graphene sheets formed from the methods are described herein. A method may include adding at least one metal catalyst in a reaction chamber, adding at least one hydrocarbon gas in the reaction chamber, allowing the at least one metal catalyst and the at least one hydrocarbon gas to contact one another to produce a product, and dehydrogenating the product to produce the graphene.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 7, 2014
    Date of Patent: August 28, 2018
    Assignee: EMPIRE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT LLC
    Inventors: William Brenden Carlson, Vincent Casasanta, III, Feng Wan, Bradley Kirk Roberts, Timothy Martin Londergan

  • Lightweight structural materials
    Patent number: 9327454
    Abstract: A light-weight material and a method for producing a light-weight material use removable forms to produce an array of interconnected voids within the material. The forms include a plurality of spaced apart and adjoining blocks onto which the material is deposited, and the blocks are constructed of a material that may be desolidified, such as by vaporization, to remove the blocks from the material, leaving behind a network of interconnected voids.

  • LIGHT WEIGHT STRUCTURAL MATERIALS
    Publication number: 20150360995
    Abstract: Functionalized microspheres for being dispersed in matrix materials to reduce the density and weight of the materials may be configured to include a covalently bound surface component which is configured to covalently bond with the matrix material so that when combined with the matrix material a strong, light-weight matrix material may be produced.
