Patents by Inventor Ashlan Marie Musante

Ashlan Marie Musante 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).

  • Antimicrobial polymers
    Patent number: 8445611
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to novel polymers (SMAMPs) and their syntheses and use. The polymers exhibit promising properties of AMPs. In particularly, for example, a ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) platform was developed that allows syntheses of SMAMPs that employ a minimum number of norbornene-based building blocks and/or enable easy and independent variation of hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups in the monomer units and/or along the polymeric backbone to finetune and select desirable properties of the polymers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 6, 2012
    Date of Patent: May 21, 2013
    Assignee: University of Massachusetts
    Inventors: Gregory N. Tew, Ahmad E. Madkour, Karen Lienkamp, Ashlan Marie Musante
