  • Patent number: 11124605
    Abstract: The invention provides antimicrobial polypeptides (AMPs) with high radial amphiphilicity. Unlike typical AMPs characterized by facial amphiphilicity or biomimetic antimicrobial polymers with randomly distributed charged and hydrophobic groups, these new AMPs are homo-polypeptides with radially amphiphilic structure. They adopt a stable ?-helical conformation with a hydrophobic helical core and a charged exterior shell, formed by flexible hydrophobic side chains with terminal charge group. The radially amphiphilic polypeptides offer several advantages over conventional AMPs with regard to stability against protease and simplicity of design. They also exhibit high antibacterial activity against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and low hemolytic activity. The AMPs thus provide a general platform for treating drug-resistant bacterial infections.

  • Patent number: 10822448
    Abstract: The present invention relates to polymers having dynamic urea bonds and more specifically to polymers having hindered urea bonds (HUBs) with fast hydrolytic kinetics. These urea bonds are aryl-substituted, i.e. aromatic-substituted hindered urea bonds, that demonstrate pH independent hydrolytic kinetics, such that they consistently and rapidly hydrolyze in water from pH 2 to 11. The urea bond dissociation for these materials is generally such that k?1>h?1, which is two orders of magnitudes faster than for aliphatic hindered ureas. The present invention also relates to hydrolytically reversible or degradable linear, branched or network polymers incorporating these HUBs and to precursors for incorporation of these HUBs into these polymers. The technology can be applied to and integrated into a variety of polymers, such as polyureas, polyurethanes, polyesters, polyamides, polycarbonates, polyamines, and polysaccharides to make linear, branched, and cross-linked polymers.

  • Patent number: 10529631
    Abstract: Methods of measuring fin height electrically for devices fabricated using FinFET technology are disclosed here. One method uses an interleaving comb-like test structure with no gate. The other method extracts fin height from total gate capacitance from FinFETS with varying gate lengths. When a comb-like structure with no gate is used to measure fin height, if there is another structure with a gate is used, then the gate capacitance may be measured to independently measure thickness of gate dielectric.

  • Patent number: 10428171
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a one-component processing method and system for preparing polyurea materials. This method and system involves a polymerization process using cyclic oligomeric polyurea precursors. These cyclic oligomeric precursors have dynamic urea bonds such as hindered urea bonds (HUBs). These cyclic oligomeric precursors exhibit dynamic properties to reversibly dissociate in situ yielding isocyanate and amine components which polymerize to yield the polyureas, such as linear, branched or cross-linked polyureas. This method and system has advantages over conventional methods that utilize two-component systems. Such two-component systems require the segregation of the isocyanate and amine components to prevent premature or too rapid polymerization. The resulting polyureas are useful for a variety of applications including coatings.
