Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A nanoscale ionic material composition, such as but not limited to a nanoscale ionic solid material composition, a nanoscale ionic gel material composition or a nanoscale ionic liquid material composition, may be prepared using an acid/base reaction directly between: (1) one of an acid functional and a base functional inorganic metal oxide nanoparticle core absent an organofunctional corona; and (2) a corresponding complementary one of a basic and acidic functional organic polymer material canopy. Desirably, the nanoscale ionic material composition is formed absent an intervening chemical functionalization process step with respect to the inorganic metal oxide nanoparticle core that provides the corona, such as but not limited to a silane coupling agent chemical functionalization process step with respect to the inorganic metal oxide nanoparticle core to provide the corona.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A nanoparticle comprising: an inorganic metal oxide material core absent an organofunctional corona; and an organic polymer material canopy surrounding the inorganic metal oxide material core, wherein the organic polymer material canopy is tethered to the inorganic metal oxide material core by an acid-base-based ionic bond. 2. The nanoparticle of claim 1 , wherein the nanoparticle is characterized by at least one of: an aqueous solut…
