  • Compositions containing thermally-induced self-assembly of nonionic surfactants and their application in smart glass technologies
    Patent number: 10466511
    Abstract: The present subject matter relates generally to the use of thermally induced self-assembly of surfactants, such as poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) or 4-octylphenol polyethoxylate, to vary the transparency or opacity of a composition containing the same. The compositions of the present subject matter can be used in smart window technologies.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 30, 2010
    Date of Patent: November 5, 2019
    Assignee: THE HONG KONG UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
    Inventors: Weijia Wen, Ping Sheng, Jiaxing Li, Xiuqing Gong
  • Magnetic microsphere and method of forming a microsphere
    Patent number: 9457034
    Abstract: The microspheres have many possible applications including smart drug delivery, breaking and damper devices. In one arrangement, a microsphere comprises a shell 120 and a core 110. The core comprises a liquid, which may be a drug, while the shell comprises magnetic particles. The microsphere is deformable in response to application of an external magnetic field. Also disclose is an arrangement in which a microsphere has a magnetic core and a PDMS shell.
