  • Patent number: 9577174
    Abstract: A process for forming a doped nc-Si thin film thermoelectric material. A nc-Si thin film is slowly deposited on a substrate, either by hot-wire CVD (HWCVD) with a controlled H2:SiH4 ratio R=6-10 or by plasma-enhanced (PECVD) with a controlled R=80-100, followed by ion implantation of an n- or p-type dopant and a final annealing step to activate the implanted dopants and to remove amorphous regions. A doped nc-Si thin film thermoelectric material so formed has both a controllable grain size of from a few tens of nm to 3 nm and a controllable dopant distribution and thus can be configured to provide a thermoelectric material having predetermined desired thermal and/or electrical properties. A final annealing step is used to activate the dopants and remove any residual amorphous regions.

  • Patent number: 9453097
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for preparing a polycarboxylate superplasticizer by graft copolymerization of fatty acid vinyl ester onto acrylate polymer. In this invention, a type of polycarboxylate superplasticizer by graft copolymerization of fatty acid vinyl ester onto acrylate polymer was synthesized by the processes of polymerization-grafting-alcoholysis-hydrolysis with acrylate and fatty acid vinyl ester as main reactants. In the first polymerization step, the polyacrylate was synthesized by using acrylate as monomer and a certain amount of initiator and molecular weight regulator. In the second graft copolymerization step, the graft polymer with polyacrylate as main chain and poly(fatty acid vinyl ester) as side chain was synthesized by graft copolymerization between polyacrylate and fatty acid vinyl ester. The final polycarboxylate superplasticizer product with polyacrylic acid as main chain and polyvinyl alcohol as side chain was obtained by subsequent alcoholysis and hydrolysis steps.
