  • Photoresponsive polymer coated optical fibers for water treatment
    Patent number: 11754778
    Abstract: A photoreactor including a reservoir configured to hold water, the reservoir defining an inlet and an outlet, and a multiplicity of optical fiber assemblies positioned in the reservoir. Each optical fiber assembly includes one or more optical fibers coated with a composition comprising a photoresponsive polymer and a light source optically coupled to the one or more optical fibers. The photoresponsive polymer undergoes a change from an initial state to an irradiated state when irradiated with light from the light source, and photoresponsive polymer in the irradiated state is adapted to bind an ion from the water.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 21, 2019
    Date of Patent: September 12, 2023
    Assignees: Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of Arizona State University, Board of Regents; The University of Texas System
