Abstract: Self-organized niobium oxide nanocones with nano-sized tips are prepared by anodization of niobium in the presence of an electrolyte such as hydrofluoric acid (HF) (aq.) . Dimensions and integrity of the bulk nanostructures formed are strongly dependent on potential, temperature, electrolyte composition, and, anodization times. Accordingly, the morphology, topology, uniformity and bioactivity of the niobium oxide nanostructures formed can be readily adjusted by adjusting these anodization parameters. A bioactive form of crystalline niobium oxide is formed by anodizing niobium metal in the presence of an , electrolyte that includes HF and at least one salt such as Na2SO4 or NaF. One property of bioactive niobium oxide formed by anodizing niobium metal in the presence of HF (aq. ) is it ability to interact with hydroxylapatite.

Title: Polyurethane - polysiloxane compositions and related technology for corrosive protection of different metallic constructions and materials
Inventor: VANGUELOV BORISLAV
IPC: C09D175/04
Filed: 2008-11-24
Abstract: The protection of metallic constructions from corrosive factors is a global problem, far surpassing by impact many others in the engineering practice. The principal reason is, that a polyvalent, "eternal" surface defender, available in a reasonable price doesn't exists, and sooner or later the corrosive action of the combined moisture, oxygen, salts, microbial activity, heat and ultraviolet radiation and formed radicals by them becomes destructive for any kind of metallic surface.   The presented invention shows an economic and fast way to protect metallic constructions of any shape and composition, by the use of the high resistant and elastic hydrophobic poly(urethane - siloxane) copolymer, formed by dispersing the two main respective solutions in an variable, frequency modulated ultrasound field, that cleanse the metallic surface from the impurities, thus mixing and dispersing the respective flows and giving the initial energy for the reaction of copolymerization. The technology allows very high precision of the obtained parameters like thickness and uniformity of the formed film, theorically until nanometers, so the formed surface coat may be very thin, thus remaining chemically and biologically resistant, and well adhered onto any metallic surface for long time, without loosing its elasticity and adhesive force. Other important characteristic of the ultrasonic formed poly-(urethane -siloxane) film is that's easy paintable, thus preserving high elasticity, and combined with its initial relatively low price and ease of work it may be used like incorporated steel primer for protecting the steel support in the cement-steel constructions, even they are exposed in extreme temperature and moisture fluctuations. The material is with high resistivity towards the microbial factors and other kind of enzymatic (or biologic) degradation, so is suitable for use in biologic reactors like microbial support. The poly-(urethane -siloxane) shows astonishing resistivity towards the ultraviolet radiation, that is 3 to 5 times highest than those of the others known and used polymeric protective coatings, so the use of the material for protecting naval and other marine constructions, submerged in salt water, is very suitable too.

Abstract: A composition of nanoparticles of metal or an alloy or having a metal and alloy core with an oxide shell in admixture with platinum particles is useful as a component for electrodes. More particularly, such composition is useful as an electrode ink for the reduction of oxygen as well as the oxidation of hydrocarbon or hydrogen fuel in a direct oxidation fuel cell, such as, but not limited to, the direct methanol fuel cell. These electrodes encompass a catalyst ink containing platinum, the nanoparticles, and a conducting ionomer which may be directly applied to a conductive support, such as woven carbon paper or cloth. This electrode may be directly adhered onto an ion exchange membrane. The nanoparticles comprise nanometer-sized transition metals such as cobalt, iron, nickel, ruthenium, chromium, palladium, silver, gold, and copper.
