Linda McGown 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).

  • REVERSIBLE BIOGEL FOR MANIPULATION AND SEPARATION OF SINGLE-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES
    Publication number: 20100249250
    Abstract: The invention provides the use of novel, binary guanosine gels for simple, rapid and nondestructive solubilization of individual single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) at high concentrations. The gels exhibit selectivity between metallic and semiconducting SWNTs and, further, among SWNTs with different chiralities.
    Type: Application
    Filed: June 11, 2010
    Publication date: September 30, 2010
    Applicant: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
    Inventors: Linda McGown, Omkaram Nalamasu, Yuehua Yu
