Latest Patents
One of JaeHong Lee's latest patents is focused on a melt processed antimicrobial composition. This invention involves a method for forming a composition that includes mixing an antimicrobially active botanical oil, such as thymol or carvacrol, with a modified starch polymer within a melt blending device like an extruder. This approach allows for greater flexibility in processing conditions while achieving desirable properties in the final composition. Additionally, the use of a plasticizer facilitates the melt processing of starch and enhances the ability of the botanical oil to flow into the starch's internal structure, ensuring stable retention. Importantly, the composition is generally free of solvents, preventing premature release of the botanical oil before use.
Another significant patent by Lee pertains to natural, multiple use and re-use user-saturated wipes. This invention describes a wipe suitable for multiple re-use, comprising a biopolymer matrix composition. The matrix includes a specific percentage of essential oil, biopolymer, and carrier fluid, allowing for limited release of the essential oil when exposed to a liquid solution. This innovative design enables the essential oil to be re-released repetitively upon subsequent uses.
