Nanostructured Surfaces - joint with Brown University
INV-14052 Background The attachment of bacteria to surfaces, sometimes referred to as biofilm formation, often occurs in two steps. The first step is the initial attachment of the bacteria to the surface and the second is a cell-to-cell proliferation to form multilayered bacterial clusters. The initial attachment of the bacteria to the surface is...

Suspensions and solutions of dyes that enable colored coatings with tunable infrared performance
INV-21076 Background Traditionally, paints are granted color by solid, inorganic pigments evenly dispersed throughout their matrix. These pigments absorb most wavelengths of light but reflect a few remaining wavelengths, which generates the color we perceive with our eyes. Longer wavelengths (LWs) which carry heat, are also absorbed, and reflected...
