20090145742 | ENERGY TRANSFER THROUGH SURFACE PLASMON RESONANCE EXCITATION ON MULTISEGMENTED NANOWIRES - Disclosed herein is energy transfer on multisegmented nanowires via surface plasmon resonance excitation of visible light, such as solar energy, absorbed by metals sensitive to visible light and transferred to metals insensitive to visible light. The nanowires are prepared with controllable gap sizes between different segments by on-wire lithography (OWL). | 06-11-2009 |
20100092372 | HALIDE ION CONTROL OF SEED MEDIATED GROWTH OF ANISOTROPIC GOLD NANOPARTICLES - Methods of forming nanoprisms or nanorods from gold seed particles by adding controlled amounts of iodide ion to the growth solution are disclosed. | 04-15-2010 |
20100294952 | CONTROLLED AGENT RELEASE AND SEQUESTRATION - Disclosed are nanostructures having nanoprisms and agents, such as diagnostic and/or therapeutic agents. Nanoprisms with a surface plasmon resonance in the near-infrared convert irradiation, such as from a laser into heat selectively to allow the dissociation, such as dehybridization of oligonucleotide duplexes, of agents associated with the nanoprism surface. These nanostructures show morphological, chemical, and functional stability under hours of irradiation. Further disclosed are methods of selectively releasing agents from nanostructures after directed surface plasmon resonance mediated heating of the nanoprisms. Released agents, such as oligonucleotides, are unharmed by this process and can be repeatedly released and sequestered under spatiotemporal control. | 11-25-2010 |
20100304173 | Plasmonic-Driven Synthesis of Nanoprisms from Isotropic and Anisotropic Gold Cores - A nanoprism having a prismatic silver shell formed about a gold core and a process of forming the same are disclosed. The process includes irradiating a mixture of gold and silver nanoparticles with a narrow band of wavelengths capable of exciting the surface plasmon resonance of the gold. | 12-02-2010 |
20120006674 | ENERGY TRANSFER THROUGH SURFACE PLASMON RESONANCE EXCITATION ON MULTISEGMENTED NANOWIRES - Disclosed herein is energy transfer on multisegmented nanowires via surface plasmon resonance excitation of visible light, such as solar energy, absorbed by metals sensitive to visible light and transferred to metals insensitive to visible light. The nanowires are prepared with controllable gap sizes between different segments by on-wire lithography (OWL). | 01-12-2012 |

20140193645 | HYBRID COATINGS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS OF APPLICATION - A hybrid coating composition including an organosilane component, a metal alkoxide component and a surfactant component, with the metal alkoxide component present in the composition at a molar ratio of about 75:1 with respect to the surfactant component. The hybrid coating composition once cured on a transparent substrate has an initial clarity greater than 98. Transparent members are also disclosed that include a transparent substrate having the hybrid coating composition cured on a first major surface thereof. | 07-10-2014 |
20150044420 | Coatings, Coating Compositions, and Methods of Delaying Ice Formation - A coating includes at least one coating layer containing first particles, second particles, and third particles distributed throughout a cross-linked, continuous polymer matrix. An outer surface of the coating layer includes surfaces of at least first particles extending outward from a top periphery of the polymer matrix. The outer surface exhibits a property of delaying ice formation compared to the coating layer without the first particles. A method includes applying a coating composition in one application step. The one-step coating composition contains first particles, second particles, and third particles in a base containing a polymer. A coating composition includes first particles, second particles, and third particles distributed in a matrix precursor. | 02-12-2015 |
