  • Optically and mechanically active nanoscale media
    Patent number: 10519568
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for incorporating dye and/or nanoparticles into polymer films and into electrospun polymeric nanofibers, and, more specifically, to a method for electrospinning a molecularly homogenous solution of dye (and/or nanoparticles) and polymer dissolved in a mutual solvent leading to uniform distribution of dye across the cross-section of each constituent fiber and to resulting nanofibers with the dye/nanoparticles incorporated therein.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 3, 2014
    Date of Patent: December 31, 2019
    Assignee: Syracuse University
    Inventors: Patrick T. Mather, Amir Torbati, Ryan Mather
  • Water-triggered origami with a polymeric web
    Patent number: 9556545
    Abstract: A hydrophobic polymer fiber mat that folds in response to the application of water along a predetermined fold line, thereby allowing for the formation of three-dimensional objects strictly through the targeted application of water. The fiber mat is preferably formed by electrospinning a polymer, such as poly(vinyl acetate), to form mats with average fiber diameters ranging from 0.5 to 1 ?m.
