Abstract:
Size-confined nanocomposite powders and methods for their manufacture are provided by coating fine powders with a nanoscale powder of a different composition. The nanocomposite plastics offer performance characteristics approaching those of metals and alloys. The nanocomposite powders are alternatively used for dispersion strengthening of metals, alloys, and ceramics. Materials based nanotechnology for energy devices and programmable drug delivery are included.
Abstract:
A resin for use in molding, sintering, or extruding finished parts, the resin comprising a plurality of polymeric particles and a coating of at least one additive covering each of the polymeric particles. The method of preparing the resin comprises the steps of combining at least one additive, a plurality of polymeric particles, and at least one liquid to form a suspension; and removing at least a portion of the liquid from the suspension to thereby form at least a partial additive coating on each polymeric particle.
Abstract:
A granular resin solid (a) that serves as a nucleus, has a particle size of 0.5 to 7 mm, and is composed of a molding thermoplastic resin, a powdered additive component (b), and a fixing resin (c) composed of a thermoplastic resin are stirred and mixed, the fixing resin (c) is melted by the frictional heat during stirring and mixing, the powdered additive component (b) is made to adhere to the surface of the granular resin solid (a) by the melted fixing resin (c), and the system is cooled while being stirred, which solidifies the fixing resin (c), thereby providing a granular additive with excellent dispersibility and a uniform particle size by an extremely simple method and at low cost. It is also possible to dissolve the fixing resin (c) in a solvent to obtain a liquid adhesive agent (d), which is then stirred and mixed into the granular resin solid (a) and the powdered additive component (b), causing the powdered additive component (b) to adhere to the surface of the granular resin solid (a), and evaporate the solvent of the liquid adhesive agent (d) by further stirring and solidify the fixing resin (c), thereby affixing the additive component (b) to the surface of the granular resin solid (a).
Abstract:
Dispersed phosphor powders are disclosed that comprise nanoscale powders dispersed on coarser carrier powders. The composition of the dispersed fine powders may be oxides, carbides, nitrides, borides, chalcogenides, metals, and alloys. Such powders are useful in various applications such as lamps, cathode ray tubes, field emission displays, plasma display panels, scintillators, X-ray detectors, IR detectors, UV detectors and laser detectors. Nano-dispersed phosphor powders can also be used in printing inks, or dispersed in plastics to prevent forgery and counterfeiting of currency, original works of art, passports, credit cards, bank checks, and other documents or products.

Abstract:
The technique of the present invention includes a plurality of micro-porous granulate structures made of polypropylene comprising phase change material. The micro-porous polypropylene granulate structure absorbs and holds about 60% to 75% of a phase change material. The micro-porous polypropylene granulate structures with incorporated phase change material are free flowing, conformable powders or pellets possessing particle sizes between 0.01 millimeter and 1.0 millimeter. The phase change materials incorporated in the micro-porous polypropylene granulate structures are alkyl hydrocarbons, salt hydrates, poly-alcohols, or eutectics with melting and freezing temperatures between null10null C. and 150null C. In order to manufacture the micro-porous polypropylene granulates comprising phase change material the granulate is stirred into the liquefied phase change material. The liquefied phase change material is soaked into the micron-size voids of the granulate by capillary absorption with support of a vacuum. Finally, a secondary heating process is applied in order to remove surplus phase change material sticking to the granulate surface. The micro-porous polypropylene powder with incorporated phase change material can be coated or glued onto the surface of a textile or other material. The pellets can be filled into a three-dimensional textile structure, an elastomeric polymer, a visco-elastic fluid or a composite of granulate structures. The pellets can also be extruded to form a film or a sheet-like structure. In each case, the heat storage capacity of a textile, a building product or any other material is enhanced substantially.
