Patents by Inventor Brett M. Rambo

Brett M. Rambo 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).

  • POLYSILICATE-POLYSILICONE ENZYME IMMOBILIZATION MATERIALS
    Publication number: 20150050712
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to improvements in enzyme immobilization, particularly for use in the field of carbon dioxide capture and sequestering. It has been discovered that the utilization of sol-gel processes to immobilize enzymes in polysilicate-polysilicone copolymer coatings and particles, and the deposition of these coatings on solid state supports or use of suspensions of these particles, provides significant benefits for use in industrial applications involving enzymatic catalysts.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 23, 2014
    Publication date: February 19, 2015
    Inventors: Brett M. Rambo, Tracy L. Bucholz, Dawn C. Powell, Luke E. Weber, Alexander J. Linder, Caroline M.H. Duesing, Aleksey Zaks
  • Thiol-ene coupling chemistry for immobilization of biocatalysts
    Patent number: 8956839
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to immobilized biocatalysts or immobilized enzymes for use in carbon capture and sequestration technology. Thiol-ene chemistry is used to couple a biocatalyst, particularly carbonic anhydrase, to a substrate including a substrate, a solid support, a microparticle, a nanoparticle, or a combination thereof.
    Type: Grant
