Latest Patents
Travis D Carson's latest patents focus on "Materials and methods for the preparation of anisotropically-ordered solids." This invention provides materials and methods for creating anisotropic solids, which can take the form of films, layers, shaped elements, and other articles. The methods allow for the production of anisotropic solids without the need for rolling, rubbing, or stretching to achieve molecular alignment. The invention employs organic or organometallic compounds that serve as soluble orienting molecules. The solvent or solvent system used must be sufficiently volatile to be removed without disrupting the molecular orientation. The soluble orienting molecules include those with hydrophilic and/or ionic groups, and the solvent can be a polar organic or aqueous system. Additionally, the invention introduces novel compounds featuring quaterrylene, perylene, and naphthalene ring systems that carry hydrophilic and/or ionic groups. These compounds exhibit useful absorption and fluorescence properties in both solution and solid phases, as well as beneficial liquid crystalline properties.
