US Patent:

20110091711, Apr 21, 2011
Filed:

Oct 20, 2010
Appl. No.:

12/908672
Inventors:

David J. Neivandt - Bangor ME, US
Jonathan Mark Spender - Enfield ME, US
Xinfeng Xie - Old Town ME, US
Lucas D. Ellis - Bangor ME, US
Assignee:

University of Maine System Board of Trustees - Bangor ME
International Classification:

B32B 5/18
C08H 7/00
B29C 39/02
B29C 39/38
B32B 5/00
B32B 5/02
B82Y 30/00
B82Y 40/00
US Classification:

4283044, 530500, 264 28, 425317, 428332, 977755, 977742, 977788, 977900, 62340
Abstract:

Methods and apparatuses for forming carbon nanostructures from a polymer mixture. The methods include the steps of mixing the pre-formed polymer with a liquid to form a polymer mixture, freezing the polymer mixture at an effective freezing rate greater than or equal to 10Kelvin per second to form a polymer cast within the frozen liquid, separating the polymer cast from the frozen liquid by sublimating the frozen liquid, and carbonizing the polymer cast to form a carbon nanostructure. Variations of these methods are included in the scope of the invention and produce materials with varying properties. Through control of the freezing process, the nanomorphology of the resultant structure may be modulated. Nanostructures formed according to these methods are also claimed.

US Patent:

20190329214, Oct 31, 2019
Filed:

Apr 19, 2019
Appl. No.:

16/389910
Inventors:

- Denver CO, US
James William Medlin - Boulder CO, US
Lucas Delano Ellis - Boulder CO, US
Hans H. Funke - Boulder CO, US
Surya Parker - Jamestown CO, US
International Classification:

B01J 20/18
B01J 20/22
B01J 20/30
B01J 20/28
C07C 7/13
B01D 53/02
Abstract:

Functionalized zeolites, including a zeolite substrate and a self-assembled monolayer of a phosphonic acid on a surface of the zeolite substrate, are disclosed, as are methods of making and using the functionalized zeolites. The disclosed methods and compositions have various applications, including in the use of molecular sieves to separate small-molecule gases from mixtures thereof. Gas adsorption selectivities and diffusion rates of the functionalized zeolites may be tuned or selected according to the disclosed methods.
