Block polyester copolymers by ring opening polymerization employing new catalysts
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a plastic material derived from annually-renewable resources, which decomposes post-consumption to non-toxic materials. PLA is produced by the catalyzed ring opening polymerization (ROP) of lactide. PLA is attracting considerable current interest and has found various commodity (packaging, fibres, etc.) and biomedical (sutures, stents, tissue engineering, drug release) applications. Substantial worldwide effort […] Read More >
High Temperature superconducting wires on Sapphire
Next generation of superconducting wires – double-sided coated superconductor tapes on sapphire that will be much simpler to fabricate, will have a lower cost, and much lower AC losses compared with current technologies. We are targeting the electricity market addressing a growing problem of blackouts due to power surges. Using our innovation to introduce revolutionary […] Read More >
Diffractive Optics based on metamaterials
A new technology for producing flat optical components based on optical metasurfaces. These components can potentially serve high resolution imaging, spectrometry, light processing and beam shaping devices. The optical metasurfaces that we develop are composed of closely spaced optical nanoantennas which can be deposited on a wide variety of rigid and flexible surfaces. The engineered nanoantennas […] Read More >
Magnetic Devices based on Extraordinary Hall Effect
The Invention Magnetic based sensors and memory elements based on the Extraordinary Hall Effect (EHE). Non-volatile memories can be constructed by utilizing anisotropic thin films resulting in stable hysteresis which can represent binary states. Extremely sensitive sensors can be constructed which generate voltage as a function of magnetic disturbances. Potential Applications Memory devices complementing or […] Read More >
Product Authentication using Nanoimprinting Lithography (NIL)
A unique Nano Imprinting Lithography (NIL) technology, based on a polymeric replication method, to battle counterfeiting • Extremely difficult to copy or forge • Inexpensive implementation (tag printing) Tag printing: Imprint on the brand product a set of nanometer scale patterns that are invisible to the naked eye (and most microscopes) Authentication: “Read” and analyze the tag […] Read More >
Biodegradable, Multifunctional, Jellyfish Based Bioplastics
Plastic pollution has become the most pressing environmental issue, and biodegradable solutions are a promising alternative. Unfortunately, most plastic alternatives are difficult to upscale and require the cultivation of the process substrate. Due to climate change, overfishing, and habitat modifications Jellyfish (JF) blooms are prevalent, resulting in the harm of electrical powerhouse, industrial cooling systems, […] Read More >
Stabilizing Gelatin-Based Bioinks under Physiological Conditions by Incorporation of Ethylene-Glycol-Conjugated Fmoc-Ff Peptides
Peptide-based bioinks that stabilize gelatin-based 3D printed scaffolds under physiological conditions. UNMET NEED Gelatin is one of the most widely-used materials for the fabrication of 3D scaffolds. In order to fabricate stable scaffolds under physiological conditions, gelatin need to be methacrylated, allowing the crosslinking and therefore the stabilization of the hydrogel through UV treatment. However, […] Read More >
Extending the Life of Lithium-Based Batteries Via Metal-Oxide Nanoparticles Addition
Due to the need to reduce environmental pollution and reduce the use of fossil fuels, the whole world is moving towards increasing the use of electric vehicles that will be charged from renewable energies – sun and wind. Lithium batteries are currently used as the main source of energy for electric vehicles. The challenges that […] Read More >
Stable enzyme-responsive nanocarriers with a-two step activation mechanism
The Challenge: Polymeric nanocarriers that can release their covalently attached or encapsulated cargo in response to specific stimuli can offer many advantages such as greater selectivity and consequently reduced side-effects. Among the different types of stimuli-responsive nanocarriers, enzyme-responsive delivery systems can act as a Trojan horse and release their active payload in response to specific […] Read More >
Stereogradient Poly-(Lactic Acid) Production by Ring-Opening Polymerization, Employing Highly Active Novel Catalysts
The Kol group at the School of Chemistry of Tel Aviv University has been developing catalysts and technologies for the ring opening polymerization of lactones, and in-particular lactide to produce PLLA-based polymers, block-copolymers and tailor-made copolymers. Recently, a new family of catalysts was developed by the Kol group. These catalysts combine several attractive properties: 1. […] Read More >
