  • Cutin-like materials with advanced functionalities and methods of manufacture
    Patent number: 10934453
    Abstract: Cutin-based devices, coatings and methods of producing such devices and coatings are presented herein. Cutin-like materials (CLMs) are presented which mimic and adapt coatings found in nature for the next generation of functional coatings. Cutin has several advantages including excellent UV resistance, natural resistance to bacteria and viruses, noncorrosive, and stability under abrupt changes in temperature and environment. CLMs can be engineered at the nanoscale and readily impregnated with metals and metal oxides materials.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 20, 2019
    Date of Patent: March 2, 2021
    Assignee: University of South Florida
    Inventors: Norma Arcelia Alcantar, Ryan Gates Toomey, Fei Guo, Zeinab Veisi, Tunan Peng
