Elastomeric Polyurethane Sealer
New root canal sealer can more thoroughly fill gaps during root canal treatment compared to commercial sealants.
Invention Summary:
Root canal sealers are essential for filling gaps during treatment, but shrink upon setting, leaving undesirable gaps that promote infections.
Rutgers University researchers have developed Elastomeric Polyurethane...

Phebox Ligands and Methods of Making Same
The Phebox ligand
Invention Summary:
Phebox ligands are organic complexes useful for a number of catalytic transformations of other organic molecules, including transformations of alkanes generally requiring harsh conditions. Since catalytic transformations using this class of ligands intrinsically involve the activation of C-H bonds,...

Development of an efficient catalyst for dehydrogenation of alkanes
Dehydrogenation of alkane with developed catalyst.
Invention Summary:
Olefins (alkenes) are key intermediates in the production of fuels and many commodity chemicals. Alkanes, and particularly light linear alkanes, are increasingly abundant but of limited value. The dehydrogenation of alkanes is therefore an economically very attractive...

Novel ChABC formulation with machine learning-guided automation
Invention Summary:
Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to the formation of scar tissue. The scarring leads to the toughening of the extracellular matrix, or the cellular environment. One of the major concerns of SCI is the prevention of neuronal connection recovery, which can lead to paralysis or reduced control of the nervous system. For...
