Arjit Bose has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Highly conductive graphene-based polymer composite
    Patent number: 9786407
    Abstract: A method was developed to impart a significant enhancement in the electrical conductivity of a graphene/polymer composite by the addition of a non-conducting filler to the insulating polymer that acts as both a toughening agent and dispersion aid.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: October 10, 2017
    Assignee: Council on Postsecondary Education
    Inventors: Arjit Bose, Indrani Chakraborty
  • Method and system for automating sample preparation for microfluidic cryo TEM
    Patent number: 9312095
    Abstract: A method and system is provided for automatically preparing transmission electron microscopy (TEM) samples for examination by depositing extremely small samples onto a grid without need for a blotting step. A sample liquid droplet is formed at the end of a capillary, wherein a portion of the liquid is transferred to the TEM sample grid by contact. The excess volume in the liquid droplet is then retracted by an adjacent capillary. After a predetermined time interval, the retraction capillary is moved toward the drop of the sample to remove the excess volume. As compared to a conventional machine, where the blotting procedure can deform the structure of the molecule of interest, the present invention utilizes a very low shear rate for removal of the excess sample fluid.
