Block-Scaffolds for Bone Regeneration using Nanoclay-Polycaprolactone Scaffolds with Supplements (RFT-533)

Scientists at NDSU have developed a flexible, modular, bone scaffold for filling large bone gaps and accelerating bone growth with various additives, such as nutrients, cytokines, therapeutics, and minerals incorporated into the scaffold.

Roll-to-Roll Synthesis of Silicon Thin Films from Liquid Silanes (RFT-447)

Researchers at NDSU have developed a process to synthesize silicon thin films from liquid hydrosilane (Si6H12) at ambient pressure in a roll-to-roll method using atmospheric pressure aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (AA-APCVD) that has higher deposition rates compared to the state-of-the-art PECVD.

Vegetable Oil-Based Polymers for Nanoparticle Surface Modification (RFT-413)

Researchers at NDSU have developed a new plant-oil-based polymer technology focused on the application of nanoparticle suspension in water.

Electrospinning Process for Continuous High-Volume Silicon Micro- and Nano-Wire Production (RFT-311)

Scientists at NDSU have developed a process for continuous high-volume production of silicon micro-and nano-wires based on electrospinning. Potential applications include composite materials, electronic devices, sensors, photodetectors, batteries, ultracapacitors, and photosensitive substrates.
