Substrate-Supported Process For Manufacturing Microfibrous Fuel Cells

View page
US Patent:
7354545, Apr 8, 2008
Filed:
Dec 23, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/744203
Inventors:
Ray R. Eshraghi - Cary NC, US
Martin E. Ketterer - Apex NC, US
Yongchao Si - Chapel Hill NC, US
Assignee:
Microcell Corporation - Raleigh NC
International Classification:
B29C 41/24
US Classification:
264313, 264166, 264317
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a substrate-supported process for continuous and automated manufacturing of microfibrous fuel cells and other electrochemical cells. Specifically, a removable substrate layer is formed around an inner current collector, followed by sequentially coating multiple structure layers, such as the inner catalyst layer, the membrane separator, and the outer catalyst layer, over such removable substrate layer, and subsequent removing such removable substrate layer, so as to form a lumen around the inner current collector, to allow passage of fluid therethrough. The removable substrate layer preferably comprises a water-soluble polymer, such as polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), or polyethylene glycol (PEG).

US Patent:
7695843, Apr 13, 2010
Filed:
Jan 6, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/030703
Inventors:
Ray R. Eshraghi - Cary NC, US
Jung-Chou Lin - Raleigh NC, US
Martin E. Ketterer - Apex NC, US
Assignee:
Microcell Corporation - Raleigh NC
International Classification:
H01M 2/00
H01M 4/00
B05D 5/12
B01J 49/00
US Classification:
429 34, 429 31, 429 40, 429 44, 427115, 521 28, 502101
Abstract:
A microfibrous fuel cell structure of elongated form with a longitudinal axis. Such microfibrous fuel cell includes electrocatalyst layers supported by a fiber network formed of unidirectional or substantially unidirectional conductive fibers. The conductive fibers of such fiber network are oriented parallelly or substantially parallelly to the longitudinal axis of the fuel cell, therefore allowing such fiber network to conform to the curvature of the microfibrous fuel cell along the radial direction but without causing overbending of the individual fibers.

Melt-Spun Polysulfone Semipermeable Membranes And Methods For Making The Same

View page
US Patent:
20040026315, Feb 12, 2004
Filed:
Dec 20, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/327564
Inventors:
Wenli Han - Weston FL, US
Martin Ketterer - Apex NC, US
Jonnie Lee - Pembroke Pines FL, US
Thanh Nguyen - Pembroke Pines FL, US
George Washington - Miramar FL, US
Delores Jordan - Miami FL, US
Dibyendu De - Pembroke Pines FL, US
International Classification:
B01D071/68
US Classification:
210/500410, 210/500230
Abstract:
The present invention provides, inter alia, a composition useful for producing a homogeneous, semipermeable membrane, the composition comprising a polysulfone semipermeable membrane, the polysulfone semipermeable membrane comprising a mixture of: an ultra-high-molecular-weight hydrophilic polymer, a polysulfone compound and a solvent for the polysulfone compound, and the polysulfone semipermeable membrane having a homogeneous structure such that the polysulfone semipermeable membrane has a substantially uniform structure. Another aspect of this invention discloses methods for fabricating semipermeable membranes by homogeneously mixing the composition, melting the composition, and melt-spinning the molten composition. Another aspect of the present invention includes homogeneous, melt-spun, semipermeable membranes useful for liquid separation processes, such as, but not limited to, microfiltration, ultrafiltration, dialysis, and reverse osmosis.

Process For Manufacturing Hollow Fibers

View page
US Patent:
20040197557, Oct 7, 2004
Filed:
Mar 26, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/811347
Inventors:
Ray Eshraghi - Cary NC, US
Martin Ketterer - Apex NC, US
Seth Carruthers - Garner NC, US
Erik Yarbrough - Morrisville NC, US
International Classification:
D01D005/24
B32B003/00
US Classification:
428/375000, 264/166000, 264/209100, 264/171260, 264/171270, 264/041000
Abstract:
The present invention relates to processes for fabricating polymeric hollow fibers. Specifically, a removable solid core fiber is provided for coating one or more layers of a polymeric membrane-forming material thereon. After treating the polymeric membrane-forming material layer to form a solidified polymeric membrane having a permanent tubular shape, the solid core fiber is selectively removed, leaving an elongated lumen inside the solidified polymeric membrane, which forms a high quality polymeric hollow fiber that is substantially free of deformation defects. The solid core fiber can be made of a removable substrate material, such as water-soluble polymers polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), or polyethylene glycol (PEG), which are subsequently and selectively removable by water. Alternatively, the solid core fiber can be coated with a removable substrate material, which imparts removability to such solid core fiber.
