Latest Patents
One of her latest patents is titled "High Verdet Constant Nanoparticles and Methods for Producing and Using the Same." This invention provides a composition comprising a plurality of magnetic nanocomposite particles. The magnetic nanocomposite particle consists of a magnetic metallic nanoparticle and a plurality of organic polymer ligands attached to its surface. The composition can also include a host matrix, such as a polymer, in which the magnetic nanocomposite particles are interspersed. The compositions of this invention have a Verdet constant of at least 5000°/T-m.
Another notable patent is "Chalcogenide Hybrid Inorganic/Organic Polymer (CHIP) Materials as Improved Crosslinking Agents for Vulcanization." This patent describes methods of vulcanization using a high content sulfur polymer, instead of elemental sulfur. These high sulfur content polymers, referred to as Chalcogenide Hybrid Inorganic/Organic Polymers (CHIP) materials, exhibit good polymer compatibility and are soluble in various polymers. Furthermore, CHIP materials may have weaker bonds than the S—S bonds of elemental sulfur, thus providing a higher crosslinking efficiency during vulcanization.
