University of MissouriOffice of Technology Management & Industry RelationsNon-Confidential Abstract of InventionUM Disclosure No. 14UMC042Power Generating FibersEnergy harvesting by the use of specially crafted fibers can be used in multiple applications such as powering portable electronic devices. These fibers can be incorporated into garments in a scalable, low-cost and environmentally friendly way.Researchers at the University of Missouri have developed fibers that can generate power. These fibers can be applied to garments but have potential to be scaled to other applications while being safe and cost-effective.POTENTIAL AREAS OF APPLICATIONS:• Garment industry• Illuminating clothingMAIN ADVANTAGES OF INVENTION:• Scalable• Low-cost• Environmentally friendlySTATE OF DEVELOPMENT:• Model/prototype has been completedLICENSING POTENTIAL:• University seeks licensee with the potential to commercializeINVENTOR(S):• Kwon, Jae• Nguyen, Quang• Kim, Baek HyunCONTACT INFO: Office of Technology Management & Industry Relations Wayne C.
