TS-076338 — PCL has been a key material in modern medicine and advanced medical device manufacturing. Able to degrade away slowly in the body without producing toxic residues, PCL has been used for medical implants and controlled drug release over time. However, PCL is inherently hydrophobic and has set degra…

TS-076188 — Polypropylene (PP) is an attractive engineering polymer due to its low cost, recyclability, chemical resistance, and favorable processing characteristics. However, conventional PP is notoriously difficult to foam because of its low melt strength and highly crystalline structure, often resulting in…

TS-076011 — Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement is increasingly being adopted in infrastructure and construction applications due to its corrosion resistance and durability. However, joining or terminating these reinforcement elements remains a significant challenge. Many established coupling and anc…

TS-075519 — A galactose-based RAFT chain transfer agent (Gal-RAFT) that incorporates a sugar moiety at the polymer terminus, enabling the synthesis of well-defined polymers with an integrated carbohydrate handle for subsequent biological applications.

TS-075198 — Nanopore-based cryptography enabling stronger, more reliable randomness for modern cybersecurity.

TS-075052 — Next-generation lithium- and metal-based batteries require higher energy density, which depends on operating at elevated voltages. However, conventional electrolyte salts suffer from limited electrochemical stability, low solubility, and degradation issues such as aluminum current collector corros…

TS-074949 — Mosquito‑borne diseases such as dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever remain major global health threats, however widespread resistance has eroded the effectiveness of existing insecticides. mosquito control agents for public health, vector control programs, and integrated pest management …

TS-074864 — Modern structural systems increasingly demand integrated sensing, actuation, and health monitoring capabilities, particularly in aerospace, automotive, and advanced manufacturing. However, current approaches rely on separately fabricated sensors that are later attached to structures, introducing r…

TS-074813 — Thermoelectric technologies offer a compelling route for waste heat recovery, solid-state cooling, and power generation, but their adoption remains limited by inherently low efficiency. Conventional materials are constrained by tradeoffs between electrical conductivity, thermopower, and thermal co…

TS-074525 — Many advanced electronic, sensing, and optical devices rely on high‑quality thin films, yet manufacturing uniform, defect‑free films over large areas remains challenging. Conventional solution‑based approaches often result in rough, cracked, or non‑uniform coatings, while vacuum‑based de…
