Biodegradable and Biocompatible Bioactive-based Polymers - Versatile Platform Technology
Invention Summary:
The Uhrich group has developed various biodegradable polymers that chemically incorporate bioactive molecules, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g., salicylic acid), antioxidants (e.g., ferulic acid) and antimicrobials (e.g., carvacrol). Bioactive molecules are incorporated into polymer backbones through labile linkages,...

Thermo-Activated Lubricant Additives for Improving Engine Efficiency and Fuel Economy
Controlled Release Friction Reduction over Time
Invention Summary:
Friction modifiers (FMs) have been extensively studied as lubricant additives that could improve lubricity of base oil friction profiles to enhance fuel economy by the petrochemical and automobile industries. There are two classes of FMs, the ash FM (organo-molybdenum molecules) and...

Versatile Biodegradable, Bioactive-Based Polymers for Topical, Cosmetic and Personal Care Applications
A. Structure of salicylic acid-based polymer and its degradation products.
B. Polymer degradation rates with different linker molecules.
C. Free ferulic acid in aqueous solution is unstable and turns brown after 10 days (left). Ferulic acid-based polymers are stable and aesthetically more pleasing in solution under the same condition (right).
