Yizhou TU 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).

  • Patent number: 11236187
    Abstract: The disclosure provides an amphiphilic porous cyclodextrin polymer: cyclodextrin is grafted with aromatic molecules, and then alkylated with biphenyl benzylidene chloride and p-xylylene dichloride through Friedel-Crafts reaction, to obtain a porous polymer with an ultrahigh specific surface area. This material has very high adsorption capacity and can be reused for simple regeneration. Because the hydroxy groups of cyclodextrin are partially retained, the hydrophilicity of the material surface is improved, allowing the adsorption rate to become faster. Moreover, there are a variety of adsorption mechanisms, and hydrophobic and hydrophilic pollutants can be adsorbed simultaneously.
