  • Patent number: 8367769
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide silicon-based nanoparticle composites, where the silicon nanoparticles are highly luminescent. Preferred embodiments of the invention are Si—O solid composite networks, e.g., glass, having a homogenous distribution of luminescent hydrogen terminated silicon nanoparticles in a homogenous distribution throughout the solid. Embodiments of the invention also provide fabrication processes for silicon-based silicon nanoparticle composites. A preferred method for forming a silicon-based nanoparticle composite disperses hydrogen terminated silicon nanoparticles and an inorganic precursor of an organosilicon gel in an aprotic solvent to form a sol. A catalyst is mixed into the sol. The sol is then permitted to dry into a gel of the silicon-based nanoparticle composite.

  • Patent number: 6149979
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of a photosensitive body surface coating material comprises hydrolytically condensing an alkoxysilane in a mixed solvent comprising an alcohol and water in the presence of finely divided silica. A polysiloxane resin is produced by heat curing the silane after its hydrolytic condensation. The polysiloxane resin has the formula: R.sup.1 SiO.sub.3/2, and R.sup.1 comprises fluorohydrocarbon groups. The photosensitive body surface coating material is not detrimental to the functionality required of the electrophotographic photosensitive bodies, has superior optical uniformity, has low surface energy, and has superior surface hardness.

  • Patent number: 6005028
    Abstract: Alkoxides with polymerizable groups are single source precursors for organic-inorganic hybrid composites possessing good mechanical properties. Additional function groups of the alkoxides provide enhanced adhesion to other surfaces, such as dentin. The selection of specific organic monomers having functional groups that are responsible for enhanced properties of the organic-inorganic hybrid composites is important. Single source precursors containing the desired functional groups are condensed and polymerized into the organic-inorganic hybrid composites with enhanced properties which are particularly useful as dental composites.

  • Patent number: 5998541
    Abstract: Finishing agents comprise the combination of an alkoxysilane surface active agent, a silanol condensing catalyst, and a nonaqueous liquid or solid medium, or the combination of an alkoxysilane surface active agent, an acid catalyst and a liquid or solid medium. In the latter embodiment, it is preferred that at least one of the alkoxysilane surface active agent and the acid catalyst be microencapsuled. The finishing agent permits formation of chemically adsorbed protecting films. Such protecting films are used for substrates of such equipments as electronics products, electric domestic products, automobiles, industrial equipments, mirrors, lenses for glasses and the like. The protecting films have a durability and heat, weather and abrasion resistance, and also water and oil repellent properties.

  • Patent number: 5665814
    Abstract: An improved silane/silica sol copolymer hardcoating composition for protecting optical plastic substrates from scratching is able to be manufactured at lower costs and to provide much-improved ease of use in transportation, storage, dipbath stability, and blush resistance in ordinary cleanroom atmospheres. The silane/silica sol copolymer is formed as a direct reaction product of an acidic silica sol and an monomethyl trialkoxy silane, preferably substantially monomethyltriethoxysilane, in ratios of 30:70 to 70:30, most preferably about 40:60. A tail solvent aids blush resistance and adhesion to unprimed polycarbonate. Optionally, colloidal silica sol dissolved in water-miscible solvent may be reacted in a second stage with acidic aqueous colloidal silica sol earlier silanized with monomethyl trialkoxy silane.
