Title: Flexible, semiconducting nanocomposite materials based on nanocrystalline cellulose and polyaniline
Inventor: HAMAD WADOOD YASSER
IPC: C08L1/02
Filed: 2012-03-28
Abstract: A new approach is conceived for the development of organic polymeric conducting materials synthesized from nanocomposites of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) and polyaniline (PANI). The process involves oxidative-radical polymerization of aniline in the presence of NCC using either in situ or emulsion polymerization. The resulting NCC-PANI nanocomposite material can be obtained in film or powder form and exhibits electrical conductive properties typical of semiconducting materials. Unlike PANI, a brittle conductive polymer, NCC-PANI nanocomposite materials can be engineered to possess significant flexibility, strength and/or hardness as a result of the NCC acting as a reinforcing scaffold. Depending on the preparation conditions, electrical conductivities for the NCC-PANI nanocomposite materials prepared according to this disclosure range from 9.98 x 10-5 to 1.88 x 10-2 S.cm-1; they could also have hardness > 0.189 GPa or be formed into flexible films of tensile strength of the order of 9.74 MPa and stretch of the order of 0.54%. These unique electrical and mechanical properties render these materials suitable for use in a variety of value-added industrial products, such as batteries, electronics, electrical sensors, separation membranes, anti-static coatings for aerospace applications, as well as anti-corrosive coatings for automotives and other industrial applications.

Title: Product and process by localized heat treatment of sheet steel
Inventor: AMTMANN MAXIMILIAN
IPC: C21D9/46
Filed: 2012-07-25
Abstract: A process for localized hardening of steel sheet components includes scanning a laser beam in a scan direction across a predetermined portion of the steel sheet component. The laser beam selectively heats material within the predetermined portion of the steel sheet component to a temperature of austenitizing transformation. During scanning of the laser beam across the predetermined portion, a source of external cooling is applied to the material within the predetermined portion and immediately behind the laser beam along the scan direction of the laser beam. The source of external cooling is selected to cool the material at a sufficiently rapid rate to form a locally hardened region that is defined substantially within the predetermined portion. Subsequent to applying the source of external cooling, the material within the predetermined portion of the steel sheet component is allowed to cool to ambient temperature.
