Nano Foam Structures from Multi Layer Constructions

VTIP:09-123

Process for the production of multilayered nanomaterials consisting of fibers with diameters of 1 to 10 microns. Process control allows for the development of films, fibers or microfibers with two or thousands of individual layers.

Potential applications:

Filtration

Scaffolds for cell growth

Cotrolled release drug delivery

Novel battery separators

Noise ...

Selective Functionalization and Guided Assembly of Nanoparticle Molecules

VTIP:09-053

A rational, bottom-up method for preparing small, molecule-like nanoparticle superstructures with an unprecedented level of accuracy and control over the assembly. Examples of such structures could be a dumbbell shape where two spherical particles are attached to each end of a central rod-shaped particle, or a triangular prism with a ...

Aerosol Drug Delivery System for Targeting Oxidative Damage and Inflammation Present in Airway Disorders Humans and Animals

VTIP:08-019

This invention describes an aerosol containing nanoscale folate receptor targeting antioxidant delivery system designed to reduce cellular oxidative damage and inflammation associated with airway diseases and disorders. This delivery system includes active folate receptor targeting elements that enable cellular uptake and redox-triggered release of antioxidants through exploitation of receptor-mediated ...

Folate Receptor Targeted Antioxidant Delivery System

VTIP:08-020

This invention describes a nanoscale folate receptor targeting antioxidant delivery system designed to reduce cellular oxidative damage and inflammation. This delivery system includes active folate receptor targeting elements that enable cellular uptake and redox-triggered release of antioxidants through exploitation of receptor-mediated endocytosis. This antioxidant delivery system has been ...

Method for Making Oriented Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube/Polymer Nano-Composite Membranes

VTIP:06.091

This is the first report of the gas-transport properties of SWNT membranes using the functionalized SWNT and commercial polymer. We have demonstrated a simple, fast, commercially attractive and scalable filtration method to prepare an oriented CNT membrane with large surface area. The gas transport of the SWNT exceeded ...
