LONG-LASTING SACRIFICIAL ANODE AND EMBEDMENT METHOD IN REPAIR MORTAR Unmet Need: Longer enhanced service life of discrete sacrificial anode Discrete sacrificial anode (DSA) is a tool used for corrosion mitigation of steel reinforcement in chloride contaminated concrete. Recent studies reveal that the commercial DSA products have shorter service life than expected, as the zinc corrosion products accumulate at the interface...

Graphene oxide nano-engineering for interfacial transition zone in cement composites Unmet Need: Mitigating weakness in the interfacial transition zone in cementitious composites. Cement composites are a type of affordable and versatile artificial building material that have been extensively used in modern civil engineering. However, their inherently quasi-brittle behavior has limited their structural applications, due to the associated...

Sulfur dioxide releasing agents Abstract Sulfur dioxide has long been considered a toxic environmental pollutant and byproduct of industrial processing. But, more recently it has become evident that sulfur dioxide may also have a regulatory role in mammalian pulmonary systems. Researchers at WSU have discovered novel pharmaceutically relevant compounds that take advantage of this...

Fluorescent probes for the detection of hydrogen polysulfides AbstractEndogenous hydrogen polysulfides have recently been recognized as important regulators in sulfur-related redox biology. H2Sn can activate tumor suppressors, ion channels, and transcription factors with higher potency than H2Sn. But, a major hurdle in this field is the lack of reliable and convenient methods of H2Sn detection. Researchers at... Published: 6/27/2022   |   Inventor(s): Ming Xian, Wei Chen Keywords(s):

Hydrogen Sulfide Detection Abstract Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been known as a toxic pollutant for years. However, H2S, has been recently recognized as an important signaling molecule of the cardiovascular system, the inflammatory system and the nervous system. H2S is now known as the third endogenous gaseotransmitter, alongside nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide. There is...

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...
