Little progress has been made in the past half century in either the theory or the applications of the kinetic spectroscopic quantification methods. Current kinetic CG/FG... A Method for Targeting Nanoparticles to Bacterial Biofilm Infections using Bacterial Surface Proteins Published: 10/2/2024 Inventor(s): Nicholas Fitzkee, Dhanush Amarasekara Background Biofilm‑related infections are associated with high mortality and morbidity, combined with increased hospital stays and overall treatment costs. Traditional antibiotics play an essential role in controlling biofilms; however, they are becoming less effective due to the emergence of drug‑resistant bacterial strains. The need to treat biofilms... Hydrophobic Papers Via Metal-Ion Induced Wettability Alteration, Application, And Preparation Thereof Published: 11/12/2024 Inventor(s): Xuefeng Zhang, Oshani Rathnayaka Mudiyanselage Overview of Technology This technology is a solution to the permeability of conventional paper, by making it hydrophobic through the application of hydrophobic properties. Technology Description This technology uses a metal-ion modification method to convert conventional paper (eg. Newspapers, Copy paper, packing paper, tissue paper and kraft paper)...
