Title: Louis J. DeFilippi: Inventor in Antimicrobial Materials and Electrochemical Technology
Introduction
Louis J. DeFilippi is an inventor associated with Mount Prospect, Illinois. His work includes inventions in antimicrobial fabrics and surface-modified electrodes. He is credited with 5 patents.
Latest Patents
Antimicrobial Fabrics Utilizing Graft Copolymers. This invention describes antimicrobial fabrics made by grafting a functionalized vinyl monomer onto a base fabric and then bonding an antimicrobial reagent to the graft copolymer. Electron-beam irradiation can enable the process to be used with a wide range of organic fabrics. The copolymer’s multiple functional groups can also support the attachment of different antimicrobial agents, allowing fabrics with broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties.
Surface-Modified Electrodes. This invention concerns electrodes for electrochemical cells that produce electrical energy. An enzyme is immobilized on a support made from a carbonaceous pyropolymer coating on a high-surface-area inorganic oxide. The support is treated with a polyamine and a bifunctional monomer to create bonding sites, then contacted with an enzyme. In the presence of a suitable substrate, such as glucose, the immobilized enzyme can function as a working electrode and help generate electrical energy.
Career Highlights
DeFilippi’s listed inventions span materials science and electrochemical energy production. The antimicrobial-fabric patent focuses on covalent attachment of antimicrobial agents, while the electrode patent describes enzyme immobilization on a specially treated porous support. The supplied information identifies UOP LLC as his company affiliation.
Collaborations
