Latest Patents

The supplied information identifies one patent associated with Li: “Self-assembling rod-coil copolymers for carbon nanotube sorting and the fabrication of carbon nanotube films.” The invention describes methods for sorting carbon nanotubes and forming films of aligned nanotubes using rod-coil copolymers.

These copolymers use a diblock or triblock architecture. A conjugated polymer “rod” segment binds to carbon nanotubes through pi-pi interactions, while a non-conjugated polymer “coil” segment helps sort and disperse the nanotubes in solution or controls their spacing in films. Li’s listed patent portfolio includes 1 patent.
