Abstract:
A method of synthesizing nanoparticles, comprising providing a precursor comprising a titanium alkoxide compound; forming a plasma from oxygen gas at a first location, wherein the plasma comprises plasma products that contain oxygen atoms; causing the plasma products to flow to a second location remote from the first location; contacting the precursor with the plasma products at the second location so as to oxidize the precursor and form nanoparticles; and collecting the nanoparticles with a collector.

Abstract:
Reflective articles and related methods of manufacture are provided. These articles include a metallic layer extending across a non-tacky base layer. The base layer includes either a block copolymer or random copolymer with at least two polymeric components, one of which has a glass transition temperature of at least 50 degrees Celsius and the other of which has a glass transition temperature no greater than 20 degrees Celsius. These articles provide excellent optical clarity, non-corrosiveness, ultraviolet light stability, and resistance to outdoor weathering conditions compared to conventional reflective films.

Abstract:
A V-bank filter including a first pleated panel and a second pleated panel. The first pleated panel and the second pleated panel are both formed from a single, continuous web of pleated filter material into a V-configuration and the pleats of the first panel are interleaved with the pleats of the second panel at an apex of the V-configuration.
