International Classification:

G01J 344

US Classification:

356301, 75741

Abstract:

Methods for preparing colloidal metal nanoparticles, in which seed colloids are added to a solution of reductant mixed with a solution containing a source of metal ions, include a method in which the seeds are colloidal gold nanoparticles, the source of gold ions is HAuCl , and the reductant is NH OH. SERS substrates are prepared by combining a colloidal gold monolayer with a solution containing a source of metal ions and a reductant such as NH OH.

International Classification:

B32B 5/66

US Classification:

428403, 428404, 428405, 428406, 428407

Abstract:

Aqueous chemical routes and finished compositions of a core-shell particulate material for application in crystallizable glass enamel are disclosed. A composition of particles containing a shell of inorganic oxides or mixed-metal inorganic oxides and a core material of complex inorganic colored pigment, wherein the shell material is comprised of any single oxide or combination of oxides is taught. Preferred elements of composition for the shell are oxides and silicates of Ti, Ni, Zn, Al, Zr, Si, Sn, Bi, Na, K, and B. Core materials may be any material commonly classified as a complex inorganic colored pigment. The resulting particles function in glass enamel formulations as coloring agents and additives for partial crystallization of the glass material, and provide modification of glass melt temperature, durability, acid resistance, and other desirable properties.

International Classification:

G02B 26/00
G09G 3/34

US Classification:

359296, 345107

Abstract:

An electrophoretic medium comprises at least one electrically charged particle dispersed posed in a fluid. The electrically charged particle comprises an inorganic black pigment having a surface area of at least about 7 m/g.

Michael David Musick - Mason OH, US

International Classification:

C01F 17/00
C09C 1/00
C09C 1/30

Abstract:

A composite material comprising an amorphous, porous material with nanocrystalline material in its pores has been found to be a UV absorber. The porous material is a matrix of pores that act as a scaffold for the nanocrystalline material. The particles of the nanocrystalline material are isolated, which mean that they do not connect to each other. In some embodiments, the nanocrystalline material is completely inside the pores of the porous material. In some embodiments, the nanocrystalline material may stick out of some or all of the pores of the porous material. In some embodiments, the nanocrystalline material is a cerium oxide material. In some embodiments, the nanocrystallite ranges in size from 2 to about 100 nm on its longest axis, with an aspect ratio from about 1 to about 1.5.
