Abstract: A method provides a redispersible nanoparticle powder. The method includes: a) providing within a liquid carrier a first dispersion of nanoparticles having surface hydroxyl groups; b) adding a non-metal-ester molecular reactant for the hydroxyl group into the liquid carrier; c) reacting the reactant with the hydroxyl group to form individual, non-continuous sites having reaction product of the hydroxyl group and the reactant to form a surface treated nanoparticle; and d) drying the surface treated nanoparticle to at least reduce the presence of any excess non-metal-ester molecular reactant and providing non-aggregated powder of the surface treated nanoparticles such that when the dried, treated nanoparticle powder is redispersed as a second dispersion in a carrier or solvent having affinity for the non-metal-ester reactant product, a nano-sized particle is formed.

Abstract: Heat-triggered colorants for altering the color of a food, methods for changing the color of a food using heat-triggered colorants, and methods for making heat-triggered colorants for food. The heat-triggered colorants may comprise a mixture comprising a carrier having a melting point and a GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) first food colorant having a color, and a coating encapsulating the mixture and masking the color of the first food colorant. When the heat-triggered colorant is exposed to a temperature greater than the melting point of the carrier, the carrier melts and releases the first food colorant, thereby unmasking the color of the first food colorant.

Abstract: Microencapsulated delivery vehicles comprising an active agent are disclosed. In one embodiment, the microencapsulated delivery vehicles are heat delivery vehicles capable of generating heat upon activation. The microencapsulated heat delivery vehicles may be introduced into wet wipes such that, upon activation, the wet wipe solution is warmed resulting in a warm sensation on a user's skin. Any number of other active ingredients, such as cooling agents and biocides, can also be incorporated into a microencapsulated delivery vehicle.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for modifying the appearance of a flame to maximize the size of the flame for a given amount of fuel, increase a burn rate efficiency of the flame, or change the shape of the flame. The shape and size of the flame may be modified by applying a secondary source of fluid to the flame. The secondary source of fluid may cause turbulent fluid flow within the combustion chamber enclosure in which the flame is produced to change the appearance of the flame. The secondary source of fluid may be generated by a blower or fan and may include, for example, a source of fresh combustion air, additional flammable gas such as natural gas, or other fluid additives for enhancement of the flame color, shape, and size.
