Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electromagnetic radiation activated device comprises a property changing material and at least one functionalized fullerene that upon irradiation of the functionalized fullerenes with electromagnetic radiation of one or more frequencies a thermally activated chemical or physical transformation occurs in the property changing material. The thermal activated transformation of the property changing material is triggered by the heating or combustion of the functionalized fullerenes upon their irradiation. The device can include a chemical agent that is embedded in the property changing material and is released when the material is heated by the functionalized fullerenes upon irradiation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. An electromagnetic radiation activated device comprising: a property changing material; a chemical agent encapsulated by said property changing material, and at least one functionalized fullerene selected from the group consisting of polyhydroxy fullerene derivatives (PHFs), carboxy fullerenes, N-ethyl-polyamino-C 60 S, [6,6]phenyl C 60 butyric acid methyl esters (PCBMs), N-methyl fulleropyrrolidine, or combinations thereof, wherein irradiation with electromagnet…
