  • Hemocompatibility of superhemophobic titania surfaces
    Patent number: 11484630
    Abstract: In this work, we investigated the blood platelet adhesion and activation of truly superhemophobic surfaces and compared them with that of hemophobic surfaces and hemophilic surfaces. Our analysis indicates that only those superhemophobic surfaces with a robust Cassie-Baxter state display significantly lower platelet adhesion and activation. The understanding gained through this work will lead to the fabrication of improved hemocompatible, superhemophobic medical implants.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 17, 2018
    Date of Patent: November 1, 2022
    Assignee: Colorado State University Research Foundation
    Inventors: Arun Kumar Kota, Ketul Popat, Sanli Movafaghi, Victoria Leszczak Murphy, Wei Wang

  • Devices and methods for sorting droplets by surface tension
    Patent number: 9823174
    Abstract: A tunable superomniphobic surface with flower-like TiO2 nanostructures was fabricated into a device with precisely tailored surface energy domains that can sort droplets by surface tension. This apparatus and method for droplet sorting will enable inexpensive and energy-efficient analytical devices for personalized point-of-care diagnostic platforms, lab-on-a-chip systems, fuel sensor applications, biochemical assays and biosensors.
