Application: Polymer materials including coated nanovoids and methods and systems for forming the same (Patent ID: US20240141128A1)
The patent filed by Meta Platforms Inc. describes a nanovoided polymer-based material that includes a bulk polymer material with nanovoids and an interfacial film at the interface between the nanovoids and the bulk polymer material. The interfacial film consists of one or more layers of material. The method of forming this material involves creating the bulk polymer material with nanovoids and then forming the interfacial film at the interface of each nanovoid. Various techniques for forming the material are disclosed, including using a mixture of solvent and curable components, preparing emulsions, and utilizing cavitation agents.
The claims of the patent detail specific methods for forming the nanovoided polymer material, such as using a mixture of solvent and curable components to create nanovoids, preparing emulsions with surfactants and proteins, and forming interfacial films with various materials like metals, oxides, and nitrides. The patent also covers techniques like inkjet printing, chemical vapor deposition, and vapor coating for depositing the mixtures, as well as utilizing actinic radiation to cure components and decompose cavitation agents. Additionally, the patent mentions the use of specific polymers like silicon-based, acrylic, epoxy, polyurethane, styrene-based, and polyamine-based polymers, as well as nanocomposites with embedded nanoparticles. Overall, the patent provides a detailed and comprehensive guide for creating nanovoided polymer-based materials with interfacial films using various innovative methods and materials.
