Pi-Conjugated Heavy Metal Polymers For Organic White Light Emitting Diodes

Invention SummaryOrganic light emitting diodes are primarily used in display devices and sometimes in lighting devices. Poor quality of white light emitted by these diodes and their complex fabrication methods may make them undesirable. A new polymer has been synthesized and characterized that emits a broad spectrum which appears white to human eyes....

Thermally Stable, High Surface Area Composite Ceria/Silica Aerogels **Value Express**

Invention Summary This invention describes methods to create thermally stable high surface area aerogels containing cerium oxide (ceria). Aerogels are solid materials that are very porous, similar to swiss cheese or lava rock. Aerogels are very lightweight and have very high surface areas (e.g. >500m2/g). The difference is, unlike the holes (or...
