Foldable Polymers as Gene Probes Abstract This technology utilizes novel probes to detect and identify target biomolecules in a sample. These probes employ conformational changes induced by molecular recognition events to initiate changes in the optical properties of the probe (e.g. the modulation of a fluorescence or absorption response upon target binding). Methods, including solid... Published: 10/8/2024   |   Inventor(s): Alexander Li, Wei Wang Keywords(s): Advanced Materials, Biotechnology

Wood-Based prepreg for downstream production of composite laminates Unmet Need: Need for biobased prepreg There has been a rapid growth in research and innovation in the natural fiber composites (NFCs) as part of reducing environmental impact. NFCs are renewable, lightweight, energy efficient, and environmentally friendly. Glass/carbon fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP/CFRP) are mostly used in modern aircraft structures....

Implementation of ACRT in Czochralski growth of Doped Single Crystals from Melt Unmet Need: Homogeneous doping is hard to achieve by traditional methods Crystal growth using conventional methods such as Czochralski (CZ), often suffer from core breakdown and low uniformity. This was shown especially for those crystals grown with low temperature gradients and those grown from highly viscous melts, in which natural convection does...

Growth of Cerium Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet from an Alumina Rich Melt Abstract This WSU invention concerns the growth of Cerium Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Ce:YAG) from a melt containing aluminum oxide with known amounts of YAG. Ce:YAG is a phosphor, when in its pure single-crystal from, with a wide range of uses. Notably, crystals can be used in white light-emitting diodes, as a coating on a high-brightness blue Indium...

In-vitro Biocompatibility of Laser Processed Ta Coatings on Ti (former title: Bone Replacement Materials) AbstractLow density, low stiffness load-bearing implant structures are a dream for orthopedic surgeons. In total hip replacements (THR), dense metals with higher density, stiffness, and strength than natural bone are traditionally used to replace the diseased or damaged hip, and help restore the natural hip function of the patient. Typical lifetime... Published: 10/8/2024   |   Inventor(s): Amit Bandyopadhyay, Susmita Bose, Vamsi Krishna Balla Keywords(s): Advanced Materials, Global Human and Animal Health

Biobased Epoxy Resins and Curing Agents using Rosin Acids as Building Blocks Abstract WSU inventors have developed epoxy resin systems and carboxylic terminated polyesters using rosin acids as building blocks. This provides a method to make epoxy resin systems that do not contain Bisphenol A (BPA). Current powder coating polyester resins are built largely on tere-or isophthalic acid and trimellitic anhydride as rigid monomers...
