A pharmaceutical composition containing a metal oxide coated particle comprising 1) an amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) core containing an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and a polymer; and 2) a metal oxide coating, and the method of making said metal oxide coated particle by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The metal oxide coated particle is useful because it prevents the ASD from crystallization and helps maintain the ASD in an amorphous form.

Coated drug compositions and methods of preparing the same

A method of preparing a pharmaceutical composition having a drug-containing core enclosed by one or more silicon oxide materials is provided. The method entails alternating exposing the particles to gaseous or vaporous SiCland gaseous or vaporous HO at a reduced temperature and in the absence of a catalyst.

Low temperature process for preparing silicon oxide coated pharmaceuticals

Methods of selectively depositing a mask layer on a surface of a patterned substrate and self-aligned patterned masks are provided herein. In one embodiment, a method of selectivity depositing a mask layer includes positioning the patterned substrate on a substrate support in a processing volume of a processing chamber, exposing the surface of the patterned substrate to a parylene monomer gas, forming a first layer on the patterned substrate, wherein the first layer comprises a patterned parylene layer, and depositing a second layer on the first layer. In another embodiment, a self-aligned patterned mask comprises a parylene layer comprising a plurality of parylene features and a plurality of openings, the parylene layer is disposed on a patterned substrate comprising a dielectric layer and a plurality of metal features, the plurality of metal feature comprise a parylene deposition inhibitor metal, and the plurality of parylene features are selectivity formed on dielectric surfaces of the dielectric layer.

Selectively deposited parylene masks and methods related thereto

Approaches herein provide a device, such as a battery protection device, including a cathode current collector and an anode current collector provided atop a substrate, a cathode provided atop the cathode current collector, and an electrolyte layer provided over the cathode. An interlayer, such as one or more layers of silicon, antimony, magnesium, titanium, magnesium lithium, and/or silver lithium, is formed over the electrolyte layer. An anode contact layer, such as an anode or anode current collector, is then provided over the interlayer. By providing the interlayer atop the electrolyte layer prior to anode contact layer deposition, lithium from the cathode side alloys with the interlayer, thus providing a more isotropic or uniaxial detachment of the anode contact layer.

Energy storage device having an interlayer between electrode and electrolyte layer

Compositions and methods of forming battery active materials are provided. A solution of battery active metal cations and reactive anions may be blended with a fuel to yield a precursor mixture usable for synthesizing a battery active material for deposition onto a substrate. The battery active metal cations include lithium, manganese, cobalt, nickel, iron, vanadium, and the like. Reactive anions include nitrate, acetate, citrate, tartrate, maleate, azide, amide, and other lower carboxylates. Suitable fuels, which may be water miscible, may include amino compounds. Alcohols and sugars may be added to adjust carbon content and fuel combustion characteristics. An exothermic reaction is performed to convert the metals into battery active oxides.

Precursor formulation for battery active materials synthesis

Apparatus and methods of forming a battery-active material are described. An apparatus includes a first processing section that raises the temperature of a precursor material to a reaction threshold temperature, a second processing section that converts the precursor material to a battery-active material, and a third processing section that cools the resulting battery-active material. Each of the processing sections may be a continuous flow tubular component. The first and third processing sections may be metal, and the second processing section may be a refractory material for high temperature service. The battery-active material is collected using a solids collector.
