Glen Bradley Thomas 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).

  • Degradable polycations derived from amino acid vinyl esters
    Patent number: 9688789
    Abstract: Described herein are the synthesis and polymerization of a series of N-Boc-protected amino acid vinyl ester (BAAVE) monomers. Homopolymers and heteropolymers containing the monomers are described, particularly heteropolymers with vinyl ester monomers such as vinyl acetate. Deprotection can be used to produce hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers that are particular useful in biological applications such as cellular delivery of biological materials.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 16, 2014
    Date of Patent: June 27, 2017
    Assignee: NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
    Inventors: Mahesh Kalyana Mahanthappa, Glen Bradley Thomas, Corinne Elizabeth Lipscomb
