Patent number: 11535840Abstract: The invention provides methods and systems by which enzymes can be modified to improve solubility, catalytic activity, recoverability, and recyclability. The enzyme may be modified with a thermosensitive copolymer to form an enzyme-polymer conjugate that exhibits upper critical solution temperature (UCST) and/or lower critical solution temperature (LCST)-type behavior in an organic solvent, ionic liquid, or other solvent. Methods and systems of the invention facilitate the use of enzymes as biocatalysts in solvents.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2019Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignees: The Regents of the University of Colorado, a body corporate, The University of ChicagoInventors: Joel L.

Patent number: 10355113Abstract: In an aspect, the present invention provides stretchable, and optionally printable, components such as semiconductors and electronic circuits capable of providing good performance when stretched, compressed, flexed or otherwise deformed, and related methods of making or tuning such stretchable components. Stretchable semiconductors and electronic circuits preferred for some applications are flexible, in addition to being stretchable, and thus are capable of significant elongation, flexing, bending or other deformation along one or more axes. Further, stretchable semiconductors and electronic circuits of the present invention are adapted to a wide range of device configurations to provide fully flexible electronic and optoelectronic devices.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2016Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the University of IllinoisInventors: John A.

Patent number: 10292261Abstract: Disclosed herein are stretchable, foldable and optionally printable, processes for making devices and devices such as semiconductors, electronic circuits and components thereof that are capable of providing good performance when stretched, compressed, flexed or otherwise deformed. Strain isolation layers provide good strain isolation to functional device layers. Multilayer devices are constructed to position a neutral mechanical surface coincident or proximate to a functional layer having a material that is susceptible to strain-induced failure. Neutral mechanical surfaces are positioned by one or more layers having a property that is spatially inhomogeneous, such as by patterning any of the layers of the multilayer device.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2015Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignees: The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, Northwestern UniversityInventors: John A Rogers, Yonggang Huang, Heung Cho Ko, Mark Stoykovich, Won Mook Choi, Jizhou Song, Jong Hyun Ahn, Dae Hyeong Kim
