According to GlobalData’s company profile on Merck, was a key innovation area identified from patents. Merck's grant share as of February 2024 was 51%. Grant share is based on the ratio of number of grants to total number of patents.
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11920069B2) discloses a composition designed for use in manufacturing optical devices. The composition includes semiconducting nanoparticles, antioxidants such as 2-tert-Butylhydrochinone, a polymerizable component, a liquid organic compound, and an organic additive of a specific formula. The polymerizable component can be either UV curable or thermal-curable monomers, and the composition may contain a specific ratio of antioxidants to semiconducting nanoparticles, ranging from 20 to 1,000 parts per 100 parts of nanoparticles. The composition aims to achieve a high quantum yield of at least 90% after 16 hours from preparation.
Moreover, the patent also covers methods for manufacturing the composition and a polymer layer using the composition. The manufacturing process involves providing the quantum material, antioxidants, liquid organic component, polymerizable component, and the organic additive, followed by mixing these components. The composition can then be polymerized by irradiation with specific light wavelengths and intensities. Additionally, the patent extends to optical devices and layered composites obtained using the disclosed composition, highlighting the versatility and potential applications of the innovative technology in the field of optics and materials science.
