Latest Patents
One of Kelley's latest patents is titled "Acid Assisted Cold Welding and Intermetallic Formation and Dental Applications Thereof." This invention involves the formation of a metallic composite solid by compacting a mixture of powder particles, foils, or sheets at moderate pressure and at temperatures close to room temperature. The process eliminates the need for low melting metals as sintering agents and enhances consolidation by removing surface oxides from the powder particles. The addition of a liquid acid, such as fluoroboric acid or sulfuric acid, assists in the composite formation, making it particularly useful for dental restorative materials.
Another significant patent is the "Method for Electrochemical Fluidized Bed Coating of Powders." This method provides a novel approach to coating particulate substrate materials by combining particles with an electrolyte in a container and generating a fluidized bed through vibration. The electrochemical deposition of coatings from reactants in the electrolyte represents a breakthrough in coating technology.
