We have developed new chemistry to prepare novel cationic and anionic cellulose derivatives from a common intermediate. These novel derivatives are expected to have utility as hydrogels or as controlled release polymers and are are promising materials for antimicrobial coatings.

The anionic derivatives will have utility in ...

The technology is artificial muscle designed to be functional and replace lost muscle while allowing new muscle to regenerate. This nanofiber can be placed in to intricate scaffolds for the muscle replacement. These scaffolds can be designed to have the same shape as real muscle while contracting like ...

Fractional catalytic pyrolysis (FCP) is a novel process for the conversion of biomass components into desirable products without a need for secondary separation techniques. FCP is applicable to whole biomass feedstocks, biomass-to-ethanol residues and organosolv pulping residues. Potential products include adhesives, biohydrogen, cresols and phenols.

Nonwoven fibrous membranes were fabricated by electrospinning lecithin solutions in a single process step. As the concentration of lecithin increased, the micellar morphology evolved from spherical to cylindrical, and at higher concentrations the cylindrical micelles overlapped and entangled in a fashion similar to polymers in the semi- dilute or ...
