  • Composite for sensing heat or infrared light and device including same
    Patent number: 11912807
    Abstract: A composite for sensing heat or infrared light includes a block copolymer including a first structural group represented by Chemical Formula 1, a second structural group represented by Chemical Formula 2, and a third structural group represented by Chemical Formula 3; and a polyvalent metal ion that is coordinated with a side chain group of the block copolymer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 24, 2021
    Date of Patent: February 27, 2024
    Assignees: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., California Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Yeong Suk Choi, Tae Hyun Kim, Linghui Wang, Vincenzo Costanza, Zhun Zhou, Chiara Daraio
  • ABA TYPE BLOCK CO-POLYMERS FOR TEMPERATURE SENSING AND FLOW METERS
    Publication number: 20230266181
    Abstract: ABA type block copolymers as a new class of temperature sensing polymers with tunable, high temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR). A sensor includes a heater, a thermal insulator between two thermometer layers, the heater generating a thermal gradient within the thermal insulator. The thermometers give an indirect measurement of fluid flow around the sensor, based on their temperature readings. The thermometers are flexible layers including ABA block polymers.
