Abstract:

Dissociation of a macroscale version of an aramid fiber leads to the nanofiber form of this polymer. Indefinitely stable dispersions of uniform high-aspect-ratio aramid nanofibers (ANFs) with diameters between 3 and 30 nm controlled by the media composition and up to 10 μm in length are obtained. ANFs can be processed in transparent thin films using layer-by-layer assembly (LBL) with superior mechanical performance.

International Classification:

B01J 23/66
B01J 35/02
B01J 37/02

Abstract:

Methods for preparing a catalyst system, include providing a catalytic substrate comprising a catalyst support having a surface with a plurality of metal catalytic nanoparticles bound thereto and physically mixing and/or electrostatically combining the catalytic substrate with a plurality of oxide coating nanoparticles to provide a coating of oxide coating nanoparticles on the surface of the catalytic nanoparticles. The metal catalytic nanoparticles can be one or more of ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum, rhenium, copper, silver, and gold. Physically combining can include combining via ball milling, blending, acoustic mixing, or theta composition, and the oxide coating nanoparticles can include one or more oxides of aluminum, cerium, zirconium, titanium, silicon, magnesium, zinc, barium, lanthanum, iron, strontium, and calcium. The catalyst support can include one or more oxides of aluminum, cerium, zirconium, titanium, silicon, magnesium, zinc, barium, iron, strontium, and calcium.

International Classification:

C09D 183/08
C08J 3/24

Abstract:

A shear thickening composition is provided. The shear thickening composition includes polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and boron. The boron is cross-linked to an oxygen atom in the PDMS to yield boron-cross-linked PDMS (B-PDMS). Vehicle parts including the shear thickening composition and methods of coating vehicle parts with the thickening composition are also provided.

International Classification:

G06F 11/07

Abstract:

Personalized diagnostics, troubleshooting, recovery, and notification based on application state is provided. In some examples, system, application, and device level configuration and usage data may be collected as telemetry data. Upon detection of a crash or similar problem, or upon user activation, an assistance service and/or a local assistance application component may execute diagnostics on the crashed application based on the telemetry data, user credentials, known problems, and other factors which may be recorded by the assistance application and/or other system elements. Suitable recovery actions may be taken. If recovery actions are unsuccessful, diagnostic information may be provided to a support system and the issue elevated. Moreover, collected information may be provided to a system database for generating data insights and determining error patterns.

Abstract:

A catalytic converter includes a catalyst. The catalyst includes a support, platinum group metal (PGM) particles dispersed on the support, and a barrier formed on the support. The barrier is disposed between a first set of the PGM particles and a second set of the PGM particles to suppress aging of the PGM particles.
