  • Self-replication of nucleic acid origami tiles
    Patent number: 10513535
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for self-replication of multimers of nucleic acid origami tiles by exponentially amplifying the multimer from initial seeds of monomeric units of nucleic acid origami tiles and also provides for the selective exponential amplification of a designated multimer, such as with specific properties or characteristics, over one or more competing multimers in the presence of a mixture of monomers for each of the possible multimers. The selection of the designated multimer based on an environmental change allows the designated multimer to outgrow all competing multimers.

  • Bamboo fiber reinforced polypropylene composites
    Patent number: 5882745
    Abstract: There are disclosed novel composite materials in which polypropylene is reinforced by the inclusion of bamboo fibers. Preferably the polypropylene may be maleated prior to inclusion of the bamboo fibers in order to promote bonding between the bamboo fibers and the polypropylene matrix.
