The invention is directed to an ion plasma deposition (IPD) method adapted to coat polymer surfaces with highly adherent antimicrobial films. A controlled ion plasma deposition (IPD) process is used to coat a metal or polymer with a selected metal/metal oxide. Exposing the coated surface to ultraviolet light significantly improves the antimicrobial properties of the deposited coatings.

Ultraviolet activated antimicrobial surfaces

The invention is directed to efficient methods for depositing highly adherent anti-microbial materials onto a wide range of surfaces. A controlled cathodic arc process is described, which results in enhanced adhesion of silver oxide to polymers and other surfaces, such as surfaces of medical devices. Deposition of anti-microbial materials directly onto the substrates is possible in a cost-effective manner that maintains high anti-microbial activity over several weeks when the coated devices are employed in vivo.

Antimicrobial coating methods

A process for electromagnetic (EM) energy-induced solid to liquid phase transitions in metals is disclosed. The method utilizes coherent EM fields to transform solid materials such as silicon and aluminum without significant detectable heat generation. The transformed material reverts to a solid form after the EM field is removed within a period of time dependent on the material and the irradiation conditions.

Controlled phase transition of metals

A Quantum Model of the atom has been formulated, which illustrates how classical wave structures and four-wave intersections provide a background-independent supersymmetric metric of quantized positions outward from the atom's single neutrino centerpoint. The Quantum Model reveals the physical structure and the natural regularization of low-energy lattice circle solutions as the basis for quantum loops founded at Planck scales. Importantly, the Model provides the causal structure for charge, confinement, the Higgs mechanism, photons and gravity. The Quantum Model provides a unique tool for teaching, demonstration, rendering, and experimentation related to atomic level structures, field generation, bonding, and elemental bond control.

Physical quantum model for the atom

A molecular plasma discharge deposition method for depositing colloidal suspensions of biomaterials such as amino acids or other carbon based substances onto metal or nonmetal surfaces without loss of biological activity and/or structure is described. The method is based on generating a charged corona plasma which is then introduced into a vacuum chamber to deposit the biomaterial onto a biased substrate. The deposited biomaterials can be selected for a variety of medical uses, including coated implants for in situ release of pharmaceuticals.

Molecular plasma deposition of colloidal materials

New cosmetic compositions are disclosed that are effective both as moisturizers and skin sloughing agents. The compositions contain neutralized weak organic acids that when applied over time to the skin in appropriate formulations will gradually increase in acidity to pH 5.5 or less, for example about pH 4.5, without causing skin irritation while exhibiting increasing activity in skin renewal effects.

Compositions and methods for delivery of skin cosmeceuticals

Disclosed are methods and compositions for increasing tissue oxygen levels by administration of superoxygenated compositions of tissue surfaces. The methods are applicable to treatment of a wide variety of conditions including burns, bedsores, ulcers, necrosis and anaerobic infections.
