Title: The Innovative Contributions of Egbert Muller
Introduction
Egbert Muller is a notable inventor based in Erzhausen, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of polymer chemistry, particularly in the development of activated support materials. With a total of 8 patents to his name, Muller continues to push the boundaries of innovation in his area of expertise.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents focuses on affinity supports containing ligands bound to oxirane groups. This invention provides activated support materials that contain oxirane or azlactone groups as substituents in linear polymers. The process involves suspending a base support containing hydroxyl groups in a solution with cerium (IV) ions and a monomer that includes an oxirane or azlactone group. Grafting polymerization is then carried out to produce a polymer with these groups covalently bonded to the base support. Additionally, azlactone groups can be attached to the base support via a thioether bond using a base support with thiol groups. These activated support materials can be utilized to create affinity supports with thiophilic ligands or metal chelating groups, as well as to prepare immobilized enzymes.
