Temperature Sensitive Surfaces And Methods Of Making Same

US Patent:
6447897, Sep 10, 2002
Filed:
May 10, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/568782
Inventors:
Liang Liang - Richland WA
Peter C. Rieke - Pasco WA
Kentin L. Alford - Pasco WA
Assignee:
Battelle Memorial Institute - Richland WA
International Classification:
B32B 1710
US Classification:
428336, 428333, 428441, 428442, 428520, 428522, 428913
Abstract:
Poly-n-isopropylacrylamide surface coatings demonstrate the useful property of being able to switch charateristics depending upon temperature. More specifically, these coatings switch from being hydrophilic at low temperature to hydrophobic at high temperature. Research has been conducted for many years to better characterize and control the properties of temperature sensitive coatings. The present invention provides novel temperature sensitive coatings on articles and novel methods of making temperature sensitive coatings that are disposed on the surfaces of various articles. These novel coatings contain the reaction products of n-isopropylacrylamide and are characterized by their properties such as advancing contact angles. Numerous other characteristics such as coating thickness, surface roughness, and hydrophilic-to-hydrophobic transition temperatures are also described. The present invention includes articles having temperature-sensitve coatings with improved properties as well as improved methods for forming temperature sensitive coatings.

Copper-Substituted Perovskite Compositions For Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Cathodes And Oxygen Reduction Electrodes In Other Electrochemical Devices

US Patent:
7758992, Jul 20, 2010
Filed:
Nov 14, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/714180
Inventors:
Peter C. Rieke - Pasco WA, US
Gregory W. Coffey - Richland WA, US
Larry R. Pederson - Kennewick WA, US
Olga A. Marina - Richland WA, US
John S. Hardy - Richland WA, US
Prabhaker Singh - Richland WA, US
Edwin C. Thomsen - Richland WA, US
Assignee:
Battelle Memorial Institute - Richland WA
International Classification:
H01M 4/00
US Classification:
429 40, 429 30, 429 33, 429 46
Abstract:
The present invention provides novel compositions that find advantageous use in making electrodes for electrochemical cells. Also provided are electrochemical devices that include active oxygen reduction electrodes, such as solid oxide fuel cells, sensors, pumps and the like. The compositions comprises a copper-substituted ferrite perovskite material. The invention also provides novel methods for making and using the electrode compositions and solid oxide fuel cells and solid oxide fuel cell assemblies having cathodes comprising the compositions.

Process Of Making Porous Electrodes

US Patent:
8202569, Jun 19, 2012
Filed:
Jul 21, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/176720
Inventors:
Peter C. Rieke - Pasco WA, US
Silas A. Towne - Richland WA, US
Assignee:
Battelle Memorial Institute - Richland WA
International Classification:
B05D 5/12
US Classification:
427115, 427123, 427243, 4273831
Abstract:
Methods and feedstock compositions for preparing porous electrodes as contained in lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries that comprise an electrolyte composition are described. The methods are characterized by depositing on a substrate a feedstock having a soluble pore former, precipitating at least a portion of the soluble pore former from the feedstock, and dissolving the solid pore former from the electrode using at least a portion or constituent of the electrolyte composition. The feedstock compositions are characterized by a pore former that forms a two-phase system with at least one constituent of the electrolyte composition. The feedstock does not contain materials that are not also substantially contained in the lithium ion battery.

Polymer Surface With Increased Hydrophilicity And Method Of Making

US Patent:
2005016, Jul 28, 2005
Filed:
Jan 22, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/764223
Inventors:
Peter Rieke - Pasco WA, US
International Classification:
B32B027/16
B32B027/32
B32B033/00
B05D003/00
B32B027/30
US Classification:
428421000, 428422000, 428522000, 428523000, 428702000, 427532000
Abstract:
A polymer having a surface with increased hydrophilicity comprises a functionalized surface with a modified water contact angle less than the contact angle characteristic of an as-received, non-functionalized polymer surface. A method for making the hydrophilic polymer having the functionalized surface comprises exposing the non-functionalized surface to a plasma and a reactive gas.

Process For Depositing Thin Film Layers Onto Surfaces Modified With Organic Functional Groups And Products Formed Thereby

US Patent:
5759708, Jun 2, 1998
Filed:
Oct 5, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/318540
Inventors:
Barbara J. Tarasevich - Richland WA
Peter C. Rieke - Pasco WA
Assignee:
Battelle Memorial Institute - Richland WA
International Classification:
B32B 1100
B05D 310
US Classification:
428689
Abstract:
A method is provided for producing a thin film product, comprising a first step in which an underlying substrate of a first material is provided. The underlying substrate includes a plurality of unmodified sites. The underlying substrate is then chemically modified wherein a plurality of organic functional groups are attached to a plurality of the unmodified sites. The arrangement and type of the functional group used can be selected for the purpose of controlling particular properties of the second material deposited. A thin film layer of at least one second material is then deposited onto the chemically modified underlying substrate. This can be accomplished by connecting the thin film to the underlying substrate by binding the thin film to the functional groups.
