Water Waste Removal using Magnetic Nanoparticles
  • Fast - The adsorption process only takes 30 minutes, and the treatment process only requires one step (i.e. no filtration).
  • Economical -  The method of preparing the magnetized nanoparticles is simple and cost-effective. Furthermore, a given batch of nanoparticles can be reused more than 20 times, with a 90% recovery rate.
  • Green - This does not introduce harmful chemicals, and enables the recovery and recycling of phosphorous.

Methods of Recycling and Replacing Lithium Ion Batteries
  • Low cost – low energy use compared to other methods
  • Environmentally friendly – low emissions
  • High purity – accurate separation of high value metals from other components
7892, 7941
Molecularly Mixed Composite Membranes
  • Simplifies preparation- membrane casting solution and processes made easier using organic cages
  • Reduce defect formation- interactions between filler and polymer matrices are dramatically improved compared to traditional filler materials (e.g., zeolites, metal-organic frameworks), contributing to less defects in membrane formation

Synthesis of Alkaloids

This technology can be used in the development of yeast-based syntheses of plant alkaloids, or any other biosynthetic pathway that uses 5-hydroxytryptohan or L-DOPA as precursors. It can be used for the synthesis of compound monoterpene indole alkaloids derived from strictosidine (e.g. quinine, camptothecin, ajmalicine, serpentine, vinblastine and vincristine) or benzylisoquinoline alkaloids derived from dopamine (e.g. berberine and morphine).

  • Replaces free radical initiators
5887
Grain Structure of Stainless Steel for Anti-Wetting Properties
  • Utilizes intrinsic grain structures of stainless steel to modify surface wettability
  • More efficient fluid transport and reduced energy consumption
  • Does not require the deposition of additional coatings
7096
Microfluidic Platform for High-Density Cell Delivery
  • Allows for hundreds of cells to be immobilized on a very small footprint- including non-adherent cells
  • Can analyze cell response at a single-cell resolution
  • Can simultaneously observe cell response and generate chemical cues- allows for observation of immediate cell response
5691
Electroactive Polymers with Rapid Switching Rates
  • Environmentally friendly: Aqueous/Organic processing is safer than the aromatic hydrocarbon and chlorinated solvents typically used.
