  • Structure for molecular separations
    Patent number: 8431509
    Abstract: A process of producing a structure for molecular separations includes providing a plurality of template materials. The template materials are selected from biomolecules, biopolymers, polymers, or combinations thereof. A sieve material, suitable for producing a structure for molecular separations, is provided around the template materials. The template materials are positioned in an arrangement for leaving pores suitable for molecular separations. The template materials are removed to leave pores in the sieve material and produce the structure suitable for molecular separations.
    Type: Grant

  • ANTIFUNGAL COMPOSITIONS
    Publication number: 20110183007
    Abstract: An antifungal composition includes a borate fungicide and an ion-exchange type antimicrobial agent with two or more different metal ions. For example, the ion-exchange type antimicrobial agent may be a zeolite and the metal ions may be magnesium ions and manganese ions. The combination of the metal ions and the borate provide a synergistic effect in fungal resistance.
