Plant extracts prepared from Articum species are bio-active and act as potent antifeedent compounds against arthropods.

A plant extract derived from Xanthium strumarium with antifeedent properties active against arthropods.

Plant extract prepared from Bifora radians with antifeedent properties against arthropods.

This technology uses natural polymers such as chitin and chitosan as compatibilizers for natural fiber (wood and agro-fiber) filled PVC composites.

This invention provides compositions and a method for improving the impact strength and elongation at break of PHB and PHBV without significantly compromising their tensile strength and modulus.

This technology is a method of making a sensitive and inexpensive biosensor. Dehydrogenase enzymes (and cofactors) are attached to an electrode to form a bioelectronic interface. The interface can be readily installed, removed and regenerated. The method may be suitable for incorporation into a biosensor array.

Methods for making biodegradable polymers with excellent material properties that are directly comparable to polymers resulting from petroleum raw materials.

A new augmented reality technique guides a user's attention to objects in 3D space. In addition to drawing the user's attention, it can be used to provide information and initiate procedures related to the object or to aid user navigation.

Using a hollow latex tube as a probe tip with adjustable internal air pressures, nano-objects can be picked up and deposited with good precision, creating new applications.

A reliable, controlled process is provided for bridging nano-scale electrode gaps with nanowires (NWS) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), with resulting applications in the future manufacture of molecular electronics devices. This invention has promise as a research tool in properties of NWs and CNTs.
