Single Step Polymerization Of Covalently Bound Multilayer Matrices

Detailed Technology Description

University researchers have developed a density gradient multilayer polymerization (DGMP) method to fabricate multicompartment hydrogels. The technique is accessible, versatile, and facilitates control of discrete, as well as continuously graduated, mechanical and chemical interfaces within structurally uninterrupted hydrogel networks. DGMP can be combined with a multitude of current fabrication paradigms to increase the complexity of matrices for tissue engineering/scaffolds, controlled drug delivery, or biological investigation.

Title: Ultralyophobe interfaces
Usefulness: Ultralyophobe interfaces
Summary: In production of self-cleaning and/or non-wetting surfaces such as paints or other surface coatings used for automobiles and buildings, for applying to glass to produce self-cleaning windows or window shields.
Novelty: Lyophobic surface used in production of self-cleaning/non-wetting surfaces e.g. paint comprises flexible fibers bound to bonding layer and having ratio of elastic modulus to aspect ratio such that fibers bend upon contact of liquid surface
