Abstract:
An apparatus utilizing a hot wall reactor and methods for making nanoparticles are described. The nanoparticles can be collected in bulk or deposited onto a base substrate. The hot wall reactor utilizes gas-phase synthesis to produce nanoparticles. Inorganic nanoparticles deposited onto a substrate are useful, for example, for biological applications, for example, biomolecule attachment such as DNA, RNA, protein and the like. The inorganic porous substrates are also useful for cell growth applications.
Abstract:
An inorganic membrane having an improved pore structure. The membrane has a mean pore size of up to about 100 run and a mean particle size in a range from about 10 run to about 100 nm. In one embodiment, the membrane comprises α-alumina and is formed by providing a coating slip comprising δ-alumina; applying the coating slip to a support surface to form a coating layer; drying the coating layer; and firing the dried coating layer at a temperature of at least about 10000C to convert at least a portion of the δ-alumina to α-alumina and form the inorganic membrane.

Inorganic porous substrates and methods of making inorganic porous substrates utilizing nanoparticles deposited onto a base substrate are described. The inorganic porous substrates are useful for biological applications, for example, biomolecule attachment such as DNA, RNA, protein and the like. The inorganic porous substrates are also useful for cell growth applications. The method used for making porous substrate is the following: providing a solution comprising glass precursors and a solvent; atomizing the solution to form aerosol droplets; passing the aerosol droplets through a flame under conditions sufficient to generate oxide nanoparticles; and depositing the oxide nanoparticles onto a base substrate to form the inorganic porous substrate.

Abstract:
Disclosed are optical resonators having low OH content in at least the near-surface region and a process for making low OH glass article by chlorine treatment of consolidated glass of the article. Cl2 gas was used to remove OH from depth as deep as 350 m from the surface of the consolidated glass. The process can be used for treating flame-polished preformed optical resonator disks. A new process involving hot pressing or thermal reflowing for making planar optical resonator disks without the use of flame polishing is also disclosed.
