Atomically Smooth Nanoporous Alumina Thin Films
A novel method of producing near-atomically smooth and porous alumina thin films with a tunable index of refraction Background Typically, high quality thin films are produced via vacuum-based techniques, though the nature of this technique makes it difficult to produce porous films. In lieu of vacuum techniques, solution processing is a low-energy...

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...
