Latest Patents

Buse is associated with 1 patent: “Porous Aluminum Oxide Structures and Processes for Their Production.” The invention describes an aluminum oxide structure containing zirconium, with open porosity greater than about 30% and an average pore size of about 20 to 1,000 nanometers. It specifies a zirconium concentration, expressed as zirconium oxide, below about 5% of the aluminum oxide’s weight.

The disclosed production process introduces zirconium into alumina or its precursors, using zirconium oxide powder, a zirconium precursor solution, or a mixture of these materials. The mixture is formed into a green body, dried, and sintered to produce the porous structure.
