Nikolas T. WEISSMUELLER 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).

  • Nano-encapsulation using GRAS materials and applications thereof
    Patent number: 12083230
    Abstract: In one aspect, methods of preparing composite nanoparticle compositions are described herein. For example, in some embodiments, a method comprises providing a zein solution stream, an organic fluid stream including at least one additive and at least one buffer fluid stream. The zein solution stream, organic fluid stream and buffer fluid stream are delivered to a chamber for mixing at one or more rates sufficient to flash precipitate composite nanoparticles including the additive encapsulated by a shell comprising the zein.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 3, 2021
    Date of Patent: September 10, 2024
    Assignee: The Trustees of Princeton University
    Inventors: Nikolas T Weissmueller, Robert K Prud'Homme
