This invention demonstrates a strong bottlebrush pressure sensitive adhesives that is >6 times stronger than commercial VHB1000 tape and is capable of indefinite cycles of wet-dry-wet adhesion (tested up to 50 cycles, 1 month apart). The  pressure sensitive adhesives were engineered using the defect-driven design philosophy (D3) where the number of defects in the system is maximized by purposely building large dangling defects into synthesized networks.

This invention demonstrates the use of polyelectrolyte complexes (PSS/PDADMAC) by leveraging the “saloplastic” properties as well as post-process annealing to fabricate sustainable, high-performance filtration membrane. This approach replaces traditional toxic organic solvents with water and salt, which does not only reduce environmental and health hazards but also simplifies the manufacturing process and cuts down on waste management costs.

This invention demonstrates formulations of nanocellulose to produce durable and high-performing anti-fogging coatings.  Nanoparticles such as silica and zinc can be added to include anti-scratch properties. The coatings are easy to produce, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly.

This invention demonstrates solid or semi-solid microparticles that undergo crosslinking and polymerization upon contacting a substrate to form a coating. The microparticles are maintained in an un-reacted state until delivered using cold spray processes where they are propelled using a gas stream at a pre-determined temperature and velocity. The process does not require volatile organic solvents or aqueous vehicles, nor plural component spray or two component formulations with limited shelf life but still deliver uniform coating.
