Joshua R. Wayment 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).

  • Surfaces resistant to non-specific protein adsorption and methods of producing the same
    Patent number: 8470247
    Abstract: A method of preventing non-specific adsorption of proteins onto a surface can include providing a substrate that has a surface on which surface groups are attached. A solution can be applied to the surface that includes a protective reagent having a terminal functional group exhibiting a dipole moment. A monolayer comprising the protective reagent is assembled on the surface by reacting the protective reagent with the surface groups, thereby creating a protected surface. The protective reagent alone is sufficient to confer to the protected surface an increased resistance to adsorption of proteins.
    Type: Grant
