Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a high refractive index acrylic formulation embedded with sub-10 nm metal oxide nanocrystals. The formulation is ideal for high refractive index, high transparency coating for a variety of optical applications including OLED lighting.
Abstract:
The presently disclosed technology relates to a nano-additives to improve the performance of lubricants, oils, and greases. More specifically, the presently disclosed technology relates to applying capped metal oxide nanoparticles, such as capped zirconia nanoparticles, in the lubricants to produce a tribofilms on the lubricating surfaces to provide wear protection to the said surfaces. Also, the interaction of the capped zirconia nanoparticles with other commonly used additives in lubricants may further optimize the performance of the resulting tribofilms.
Abstract:
Preparation of semiconductor nanocrystals and their dispersions in solvents and other media is described. The nanocrystals described herein have small (1-10 nm) particle size with minimal aggregation and can be synthesized with high yield. The capping agents on the as-synthesized nanocrystals as well as nanocrystals which have undergone cap exchange reactions result in the formation of stable suspensions in polar and nonpolar solvents which may then result in the formation of high quality nanocomposite films.
Abstract:
Semiconductor nano-sized particles possess unique optical properties, which make them ideal candidates for various applications in the UV photolithography. In this patent several such applications, including using semiconductor nano-sized particles or semiconductor nano-sized particle containing mateirals as highly refractive medium in immersion lithography, as anti-reflection coating in optics, as pellicle in lithography and as sensitizer in UV photoresists are described.
Abstract:
Semiconductor nano-particles, due to their specific physical properties, can be used as optical modulator and reversible photo-bleachable materials for a wide spectrum, from far infrared to deep U.V. In this patent, nano-particles are provided with control circuitry to form a programmable mask. The optical characteristics of the nano-particles change to provide patterned light. Such patterned light can be used for example to expose a photoresist on a semiconductor wafer for photolithography. Other applications include, reversible contrast enhancement layer (R-CEL) in optical lithography, lithography mask inspection and writing and optical storage technologies.
