US Patent:
57414424, Apr 21, 1998
Filed:
Jul 11, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/499888
Inventors:
Duncan W. McBranch - Santa Fe NM
Benjamin R. Mattes - Santa Fe NM
Aaron C. Koskelo - Los Alamos NM
Alan J. Heeger - Santa Barbara CA
Jeanne M. Robinson - Los Alamos NM
Laura B. Smilowitz - Los Alamos NM

Assignee:
The Regents of the University of California - Los Alamos MN
International Classification:
F21V 900
G02B 522
US Classification:
252582
Abstract:
Optical limiting materials. Methanofullerenes, fulleroids and/or other fullerenes chemically altered for enhanced solubility, in liquid solution, and in solid blends with transparent glass (SiO. sub. 2) gels or polymers, or semiconducting (conjugated) polymers, are shown to be useful as optical limiters (optical surge protectors). The nonlinear absorption is tunable such that the energy transmitted through such blends saturates at high input energy per pulse over a wide range of wavelengths from 400-1100 nm by selecting the host material for its absorption wavelength and ability to transfer the absorbed energy into the optical limiting composition dissolved therein. This phenomenon should be generalizable to other compositions than substituted fullerenes.

US Patent:
54200814, May 30, 1995
Filed:
Mar 31, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/221421
Inventors:
Benjamin R. Mattes - Santa Fe NM
Duncan W. McBranch - Santa Fe NM
Jeanne M. Robinson - Los Alamos NM
Aaron C. Koskelo - Los Alamos NM
Steven P. Love - Los Alamos NM
Assignee:
The Regents of the University of California Office of Technology Transfer - Alameda CA
International Classification:
C03C 1400
US Classification:
501 12
Abstract:
Synthesis of fullerene/glass composites. A direct method for preparing solid solutions of C. sub. 60 in silicon dioxide (SiO. sub. 2) glass matrices by means of sol-gel chemistry is described. In order to produce highly concentrated fullerene-sol-gel-composites it is necessary to increase the solubility of these "guests" in a delivery solvent which is compatible with the starter sol (receiving solvent). Sonication results in aggregate disruption by treatment with high frequency sound waves, thereby accelerating the rate of hydrolysis of the alkoxide precursor, and the solution process for the C. sub. 60. Depending upon the preparative procedure, C. sub. 60 dispersed within the glass matrix as microcrystalline domains, or dispersed as true molecular solutions of C. sub. 60 in a solid glass matrix, is generated by the present method.
