Title: Thatt Yang Timothy Tan: Innovator in Nanoarchitectures and Imaging Technologies
Introduction
Thatt Yang Timothy Tan is a prominent inventor based in Singapore, known for his contributions to the fields of materials science and imaging technologies. He holds 2 patents that showcase his innovative approach to developing advanced materials and applications.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is focused on multi-layered metal-carbon materials-based nanoarchitectures. This invention discloses a multi-layered composite thin film material formed from graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and metal nanocrystals in a layer-by-layer design. The metal nanocrystals can be selected from a group consisting of Ru, Rh, Os, Ir, Pd, Au, Ag, and Pt. The preferred embodiment of this invention is prepared via a facile, green, and easily accessible layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly strategy. In this strategy, positively charged GQDs and negatively charged metal nanocrystals are alternately and uniformly integrated with each other in a 'face-to-face' stacked fashion under substantial electrostatic attractive interaction. The resulting GQDs/metal composite thin film can catalyze a wide range of reactions, including the selective reduction of aromatic nitro compounds in water and the electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol at ambient conditions.
Another significant patent by Tan is a nanoparticulate contrast agent. This invention provides a nanoparticulate composite with two layers. One layer comprises one or more metals, which can be a paramagnetic metal, a ferromagnetic metal, or a superparamagnetic metal, along with suitable dopants. The other layer consists of metals such as gadolinium, manganese (II), and iron (III), in the form of an oxide or a fluoride, which may also contain lanthanide dopants. This nanoparticulate composite is particularly useful as a contrast agent in magnetic resonance imaging.
