  • Synthesis, capping and dispersion of nanocrystals
    Patent number: 8592511
    Abstract: Preparation of semiconductor nanocrystals and their dispersions in solvents and other media is described. The nanocrystals described herein have small (1-10 nm) particle size with minimal aggregation and can be synthesized with high yield. The capping agents on the as-synthesized nanocrystals as well as nanocrystals which have undergone cap exchange reactions result in the formation of stable suspensions in polar and nonpolar solvents which may then result in the formation of high quality nanocomposite films.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 25, 2011
    Date of Patent: November 26, 2013
    Assignee: Pixelligent Technologies, LLC
    Inventors: Zehra Serpil Gonen Williams, Yijun Wang, Robert J. Wiacek, Xia Bai, Linfeng Gou, Selina I. Thomas, Wei Xu, Jun Xu, Rakesh Patel
  • HIGHLY CONDUCTIVE COMPOSITES
    Publication number: 20130269866
    Abstract: Domain segregation of polymer blends or block copolymers in the presence of thermal conducting high aspect ratio nanocrystals leads to preferential placement of conductive filler either inside one domain, which promote the self-assembly of a thermal and/or electrical conducting pathway composed of high aspect ratio filler. The self-assembly of such thermal and/or electrical conducting pathway effectively enhances the thermal and/or electrical conductivity of the composite with significantly less amount of filler.

  • NANOCOMPOSITES WITH HIGH DIELECTRIC CONSTANT
    Publication number: 20110315914
    Abstract: A nanocomposite with high dielectric constant includes both ferroelectric with non-ferroelectric fillers. This may improve, not only the dielectric constant of the nanocomposite but also provide additional thermal, electrical, optical, mechanical, or chemical properties to the nanocomposite for specific applications.
