  • Photoinduced alkyne-azide click reactions
    Patent number: 9176380
    Abstract: The present invention includes a composition comprising an alkyne-based substrate, an azide-based substrate, a Cu(II) salt and a photoinducible reducing agent. The present invention further includes a method of immobilizing a chemical structure in a given pattern onto a section of the surface of a solid substrate, using the photoinducible Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition Click reaction.

  • Radio frequency magnetic field responsive polymer composites
    Patent number: 9044902
    Abstract: The invention includes a composite material comprising magnetic field responsive particles distributed in a reversibly crosslinked polymer, wherein the reversibly crosslinked polymer includes thermally reversible bonds. In one embodiment, exposing the composite material to an electromagnetic field allows for crack-healing, remolding and/or bonding of the material.
