Catalyst for Manufacturing Conductive Polymers at Lower Cost
InventionThe University of Florida is seeking companies interested in commercializing an inexpensive catalyst that rapidly polymerizes substrates to synthesize conductive polymers, potentially lowering the manufacturing cost of products that use these polymers, such as solar panels, LEDs and batteries. Composed of long repeating molecular chains, conductive...

Catalyst for Initiating Synthesis of Cyclic Polymers
Polymerizes Alkynes into Cyclic Unsaturated Polyalkynes These catalytic metal complexes can initiate the synthesis of polymers with unique cyclic topologies. Only a few techniques are available to create cyclic polymers. A common synthesis route involves intramolecular coupling of polymer chain ends. However, this route has inherent limitations in that...
