Crosslinked free fatty acids for use in antibacterial medical device implants

FFA-based biomaterials created via this novel crosslinking process have significant opportunity for application in medical device implants. The global market for medical device coatings is expected to reach $7.9 billion in 2021. However, common materials for these coatings, such as stainless steel, titanium, and Teflon, often provoke an aggressive immune...

Lignocellulose-Sulfur Composite Materials for Construction Applications

These composites chemically combine abundant agricultural and petrochemical wastes, allowing for practical reduction of inert wastes that can be used to either supplement or replace traditional construction materials. Approximately 7 million tons of waste sulfur and 5 million tons of waste lignocellulose are produced each year. Only a quarter of these...

Self-Regenerating Antioxidant Catalysts for Protection of Artificial Implants

These artificial implant materials are functionalized with self-regenerating antioxidants which prevent implant degradation. Artificial implants are becoming increasingly popular, with 2 in every 100 Americans having an artificial joint and over 7 million living with total hip or knee replacement. When artificial implants come in contact with the biological...
