Patents by Inventor Zi Jie Gabriel Loke

Zi Jie Gabriel Loke 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).

  • Structures with complex geometries and controlled porosity in micrometer to meter dimensions produced at large scale
    Patent number: 11672888
    Abstract: Methods for generating porous scaffolds may include tuning a porogen/crystallite's particle size to a desired range and mixing the crystallite particles with a polymer solution. The mixture is then cast to form films. The films are rolled and consolidated around another inner material to create a preform, which is then thermally drawn. The inner material and the porogen can be selectively removed to obtain porous constructs/fibers. The structures can be fuse-printed to produce complex tissue scaffolds with dimensions up to several centimeters and beyond.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 26, 2019
    Date of Patent: June 13, 2023
    Assignees: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, The Brigham and Women's Hospital, Inc.
