RAFT Agents for Controlled Radical Polymerization of Biofunctionalized Polymeric Materials
TS-068081 — These RAFT agents enable synthesis of novel polymer materials with enhanced biocompatibility and tailored functionality, suited for a wide range of biomedical applications.
Background
The growing demand for biofunctionalized polymer materials in fields such as drug delivery and diagnostics requires precise control over polymer properties. However, current reagents for Reversible Addition Fragmentation chain Transfer (RAFT) polymerization struggle with achieving the ne…

Electrocatalytic grafting and modification of polyvinylchlorides and chloroparaffins
TS-064268 —
Polyvinylchloride (PVC) is a widely used plastic, but its inherent limitations—brittleness, thermal instability, and poor shear strength—pose significant challenges for diverse applications, from medical packaging to construction. Conventional PVC modification relies on high loadings o…

Porous inorganic-organic material for removal of trace carbon dioxide from air or other gas streams
TS-059305 — A novel method in which nucleophilic transition metal hydroxide groups are generated at the internal pore surfaces of MOFs to facilitate selective gas-phase CO2 fixation at low pressures via formation of metal bicarbonate species.
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous polymers constructed by self-assembly of organic and inorganic components. They have been extensively studied for gas storage and separation applications, and post-combustion CO2 capture under flue gas conditions has been a particularly intense area of st…

Development of a Single Component Methacrylate Adhesive Formulation
TS-042066 — A novel hybrid adhesive that combines the non-toxic, high strength properties of methacrylate adhesives with the bonding characteristics of polyurethanes
Despite the utility of methacrylate adhesive chemistry, applications have been limited to industrial and biomedical use cases. This is due to the curing mechanism, which is initiated by either heat, light or a two-component redox system. This invention describes two strategies to create a single-c…

Porous inorganic-organic material for removal of trace carbon dioxide from air or other gas streams
TS-041747 — Adsorbent for carbon dioxide capture with low energy input for regeneration, and high adsorption capacity
46% of 2010 global greenhouse gas emissions came from electricity and heat production, or from fossil fuels burned for industrial use (EPA). A lot of effort has been put into research on CO2 capture by adsorbents or absorbents, in order to reduce these greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, effec…

Development of Non-Foaming High Strength, Single Component Methacrylate/Polyurethane Adhesive
TS-037956 — A single component, moisture-cured methacrylate/polyurethane hybrid adhesive that combines the non-toxic, high strength properties of methacrylate adhesives with the bonding characteristics of polyurethanes
Methacrylate adhesives are strong and can be used on similar or dissimilar materials, such as plastic, metal, composites, and ceramic. They have excellent peel strength, resist abrasion, and stand up to a fair range of temperatures. They also require little preparation of the surfaces to be bonded…
