    摘要: A method of forming a nano-supported sponge catalyst (10) on a substrate (12) is comprised of depositing an active catalytic metallic element (16) on the substrate (12) and depositing a structural metallic element (18) with the active catalytic metallic element (16) to form a mixed metal alloy layer (14). The method is further comprised of etching the mixed metal alloy layer (14) with an etchant to oxidize the active catalytic metallic element (16) and the structural metallic element (18) and to remove at least a portion of the structural metallic element (18) from a first sub-layer of the mixed metal alloy layer (14). The first sub-layer of the mixed metal alloy layer (14) is porous and comprised of nano-particles of the active catalytic metallic element (16) that are supported by a metal oxide structure derived from the structural metallic element (18).

    摘要: A method of preparing a surface for and forming a thin film on a single-crystal silicon substrate is disclosed. One embodiment of his method comprises forming an oxidized silicon layer (which may be a native oxide) on at least one region of the substrate, and thermally annealing the substrate in a vacuum while supplying a silicon-containing flux to the oxide surface, thus removing the oxidized silicon layer. Preferably, the thin film is formed immediately after removal of the oxidized silicon layer. The silicon-containing flux is preferably insufficient to deposit a silicon-containing layer on top of the oxidized silicon layer, and yet sufficient to substantially inhibit an SiO-forming reaction between the silicon substrate and the oxidized silicon layer. The method of the invention allows for growth or deposition of films which have exceptionally smooth interfaces (less than 0.1 nm rms roughness) with the underlying silicon substrate at temperatures less than 800° C., and is ideally suited for deposition of ultrathin films having thicknesses less than about 5 nm.

    摘要: A method for the preparation of sulfonated polymer compositions wherein water dispersible isocyanate-terminated polyurethane prepolymers are reacted in the presence of aqueous polyvinyl dispersions which may contain active hydrogen atoms. The inventive compositions develop interpenetrating polymer networks, which may form core-shell type structures, and are characterized as having enhanced mechanical and adhesion properties.
