In one embodiment, a method includes depositing a material on a substrate. The material includes: a plurality of particles configured to complete a self-propagating and/or self-sustaining reaction upon initiation thereof, a solvent system, and one or more stabilizing agents.

Multifunctional reactive inks, methods of use and manufacture thereof

In one embodiment, a method includes dispersing a plurality of particles in a solution to form a dispersion; and adding a stabilizing agent to the dispersion in an amount sufficient to cause the dispersion to exhibit one or more predetermined rheological properties, wherein the particles are characterized by a core-shell configuration, wherein the core-shell configuration includes a core formed from a first material and a shell formed from a second material, wherein the first material and the second material form a combustible composition and/or a reactive binary composition that is configured to complete a self-propagating reaction and/or a self-sustaining reaction upon initiation thereof. Corresponding materials, and methods of using such materials, are also disclosed.

In one embodiment, a material includes a plurality of particles, a solvent system and one or more stabilizing agents; the particles are configured to complete a self-propagating and/or self-sustaining reaction upon initiation thereof. In another embodiment, a method includes dispersing a plurality of particles in solution to form a dispersion and adding a stabilizing agent to the dispersion in an amount sufficient to cause the dispersion to exhibit one or more predetermined rheological properties; again, the particles in the dispersion are configured to complete a self-propagating and/or self-sustaining reaction upon initiation thereof. In still another embodiment, a method includes depositing a material on a substrate; the material includes a plurality of particles configured to complete a self-propagating and/or self-sustaining reaction upon initiation thereof, a solvent system and one or more stabilizing agents.

A self-cleaning gutter system formed from two, horizontal, longitudinal halves interlocked along the gutter bottom longitudinal axis. The back half, immediately adjacent to the house or building is fixedly attached thereto. At either end of the gutter a piece transverse to the gutter's longitudinal axis protrudes from the ends of the gutter half fixedly attached to the house or building. A rod is positioned within the gutter along the gutter's longitudinal axis protruding at either end of the gutter through the transverse piece. The front half of the gutter has arms extending therefrom which are journaled to the rod. A gearing system attached to said protruding end engages an actuator shaft which extends vertically to ground level. The ground end of the vertical shaft is journaled to a simple geared handle. The operation of the handle will cause the front half of the gutter to open 180.degree., thereby dumping debris, ice and snow to the ground.
