A Simple Method to Attach Pendant Groups to Polyvinyl Alcohol
Reference #: 01391 The University of South Carolina is offering licensing opportunities for a simple method to attach pendant groups to polyvinyl alcohol Background: Currently, if you want to change the surface chemistry of the drug delivery particle you need to select a new emulsifier. In doing so, you may make unintended changes to the drug...

Microfluidic device for blood plasma separation and assays
Technology Description Oregon State University is seeking a licensee for a microfluidic device that separates blood plasma from whole blood and can facilitate downstream assays. The device can be used with raw blood or blood treated with anticoagulants, both with a lower volume than is required by current testing strategies. Testing zones of different...

Atomically Smooth Nanoporous Alumina Thin Films
Technology Description This technology is a novel method for producing near-atomically smooth, porous alumina thin films by spin coating, in ambient conditions, using aqueous precursors. By utilizing this method, the refractive index of the alumina thin film is tunable from 1.56 to 1.26 by the introduction of a nonionic surfactant in the aqueous precursors....
