  • Patent number: 9376455
    Abstract: A material is deposited onto a substrate by exposing the substrate to a metal-containing precursor to adsorb metal atoms of the metal-containing precursor to the substrate. The substrate injected with the metal-containing precursor is exposed to an organic precursor to deposit a layer of material by a reaction of the organic precursor with the metal atoms adsorbed to the substrate. The substrate is exposed to radicals of a reducing agent to increase reactivity of the material deposited on the substrate. The radicals of the reducing agent are produced by applying a voltage differential with electrodes to a gas such as hydrogen. The substrate may be exposed to radicals before and/or after exposing the substrate to the organic precursor. The substrate may be sequentially exposed to two or more different organic precursors. The material deposited on the substrate may be a metalcone such as Alucone, Zincone, Zircone, Titanicone, or Nickelcone.

  • Patent number: 8138286
    Abstract: Cycloolefin copolymers which are distinguished by the presence of racemic diads of repeating polycyclic units and additionally by racemic triads of repeating polycyclic units are described. These copolymers can be prepared by copolymerization of polycyclic olefins with linear olefins in the presence of metallocene catalysts which have no Cs symmetry in relation to the centroid-M-centroid plane. The novel copolymers can be used for the production of shaped articles, in particular of films.

  • Publication number: 20110236804
    Abstract: A composition for producing optical elements has a gradient structure, particularly for holographic applications, wherein the gradient structure is formed by a refractivity gradient. The composition is produced from a polymer and a light- and/or temperature-sensitive metal complex and the light- and/or temperature-sensitive metal complex is decomposed upon changing the local refractivity. The result is the formation of a refractivity gradient.

  • Publication number: 20110177935
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel transition metal complex where a monocy-clopentadienyl ligand to which an amido group is introduced is coordinated, a method for synthesizing the complex, and olefin polymerization using the same. The method for preparing a transition metal complex according to the present invention comprises a step of blocking a by-reaction of a nitrogen atom using a compound containing a protecting group, and thus it is possible to prepare a transition metal complex in a simpler manner in a high yield. Further, the transition metal complex according to the present invention has a pentagon ring structure having an amido group connected by a phenylene bridge in which a stable bond is formed in the vicinity of a metal site, and thus, sterically monomers can easily approach the transition metal complex.
