  • Patent number: 10128390
    Abstract: Semiconductor materials offer several potential benefits as active elements in the development of harvesting-energy conversion technologies. In particular, lead selenide (PbSe) semiconductors have been used and proposed to design solar energy harvesting devices, IR sensors, FET devices, amongst others. The present disclosure provides a lead selenide capped with an aromatic ligand. The use of an aromatic ligand, and more specifically benzoic acid, provides robustness and more durability to the lead selenide, and therefore prevents the lead selenide from breaking or cracking easily. Also the aromatic ligand prevents the degradation and oxidation of the lead selenide, without affecting any of the lead selenide electronic and chemical characteristics.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a surface treatment method for magnetic particles, a magnetic composite prepared thereby, and a magnetic composite for labeling target materials. More specifically, the invention relates to a surface treatment method for magnetic particles and a magnetic composite having excellent dispersibility prepared thereby, wherein the surface treatment method comprises the steps of: performing the acid-treatment of magnetic particles and mixing the acid-treated magnetic particles with a water-soluble solvent in order to form a hydroxyl group (—OH) on the surface of the magnetic particles; and mixing the magnetic particles, in which the hydroxyl group is formed, with a surface treatment agent containing an organic ligand, which can be bonded to the hydroxyl group, so that the organic ligand is treated on the surface of the magnetic particles.

  • Patent number: 8686174
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel modified-polysiloxane, method for producing the same, and a cosmetic containing the same. The aforementioned modified-polysiloxane exhibits a reduced viscosity and superior operationability as compared with conventional polyoxyalkylene-modified polysiloxanes and polyglycerol-modified polysiloxanes. In addition, since the modified-polysiloxane is hardly oxidized in air, hardly produce allergenic compounds such as formates, and aldehydes such as formaldehyde, during storage over time, an increased environmental compatibility can be exhibited. In addition, the modified-polysiloxane of the present invention exhibits a reduced hydrolysis property and is stable. In the modified-polysiloxane of the present invention, the terminal hydroxyl groups of a polyglycerol-modified polysiloxane are partially blocked with hydrocarbon groups.

    Abstract: This invention provides a method of initiating chain reaction in a chain reaction medium including (a) a macroinitiator and (b) chain reactants selected from monomers, reactive oligomers, reactive diluents and derivatives thereof and mixtures of the forgoing. The macroinitiator includes a multidentate anchor segment coordinated with a magnetic nanoparticle through more than one bond, and a chain reaction initiator segment bound to the multidentate anchor and providing a weak bond that can be cleaved to initiate a chain reaction. The method further comprises subjecting the chain reaction medium to an alternating current magnetic field to vibrate the magnetic nanoparticle and thereby cleave the weak bond, the cleavage resulting in the initiation of a chain reaction involving the chain reactants.
