Novel Solution for Selective Adsorption and Release of Gases Within Porous Materials

The potential for nanoporous materials, such as metal organic frameworks (MOFs), to be used effectively for energy storage and gas capture has been hindered by their relatively weak adsorption of gases. The primary approach for weak adsorption has been to develop metal centers that are more active. Such an approach often leads to complex synthesis procedures...

Multifunctional Ionic liquids for Surface Modification of Dental Implants

Titanium dental implants are known for their high success rates and adequate osseointegration in vivo. However, with an increasing number of implants used, higher incidence of failures has been reported. These failures have been associated with microbial colonization, peri-implant inflammation, corrosion, implant design, overload, as well as a combination...

Biscrolling Nanopowders and Carbon Nanotube Sheets into Fibers, Yarns and Textiles

Non-Confidential Description:The technology is the first known method to spin biscrolled fibers/yarns from nanopowder materials using carbon nanotube (CNT) sheets as the host. Nanopowder materials (nanoparticles, nanofibers) are loaded onto the CNT sheets to form bi-layered sheets, which are then scrolled into fibers. A key advantage of this technology...

Fuel-Powered Artificial Muscles

These inventions are new, highly-efficient actuators which can function as artificial muscles. They are 100 times stronger than natural muscles, able to do 100 times greater work per cycle, and produce larger contractions than natural muscles. Developed using nanotechnology, these actuators are powered through two methods that convert the chemical energy...
