Latest Patents
One of Groll's latest patents is focused on multifunctional stellate prepolymer mixtures, production, and use, as well as coatings made thereof. This invention relates to coatings that exhibit a contact angle hysteresis with water of at most 20°. The coatings can be produced from a mixture of at least two different stellate prepolymers and/or stellate prepolymer/nanoparticle complexes. These materials can cross-link to each other and to the surface of the substrate being coated. The invention also details a method for producing these coatings and the use of stellate prepolymers as additives for anti-soiling treatments of surfaces.
Another significant patent by Groll is a biosensor system based on recognition induced birefringence (RIB). This label-free biosensor system is designed for detecting biochemical reactions, enzymatic reactions, nucleic acid hybridizations, and protein interactions. The system allows for the detection and quantification of analytes in biological samples by measuring the birefringence generated in the presence of the analyte.
