Thin film deposition of metal oxide materials from aqueous solution is challenged by the solubility and gelling behavior of precursors. For example, some metal cations are poorly soluble at neutral pH, but added acid or base is detrimental to substrate stability and film adherence. In addition, soluble salts of metal cations tend to crystallize rather than gel, leading to poor film morphology without adherence or conformal coverage. An intriguing alternative to water-sensitive alkoxide precursors for spin coating of metal oxide thin films is metal-oxo clusters.

Approximately 40 million tons of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are produced annually, making PVC one of the most widely produced synthetic plastic polymers. Waste materials that contain PVC are extremely difficult to recycle mechanically. Thermochemical methods such as pyrolysis are also undesirable because of hydrochloric acid and chlorinated organic byproducts that are produced by thermal decomposition of PVC. This process is a unique chemical method of converting PVC to a chlorine‑free polymer, such as high density polyethylene (HDPE), that is recyclable.

Background   
The need for potable water is one of the most important challenges in the world. Seawater is readily abundant yet existing methods of purification are expensive and energy intensive. The three primary technologies currently used for seawater desalination (flash distillation, multi-effect desalination, and reverse osmosis filtration) all require large amounts of energy. The first two rely on thermal processes and require large amounts of heat, and the latter processes drive water through RO...</description><pubDate>Thu, 31 Mar 2016 14:08:47 GMT</pubDate><author>advantage@oregonstate.edu</author><guid>https://oregonstate.technologypublisher.com/tech/Microchannel-based_Capacitive_Desalination_Technology</guid></item><item><title>Genetic incorporation of tetrazine amino acids and use in bioorthogonal ligations</title><caseId>OSU-14-16</caseId><link>https://oregonstate.technologypublisher.com/tech/Genetic_incorporation_of_tetrazine_amino_acids_and_use_in_bioorthogonal_ligations</link><description><![CDATA[
Technology Description

&nbsp;

Ideal bioorthogonal reactions containing high reaction rates, high selectivity and high stability would allow for stoichiometric labeling of biomolecules in minutes and eliminate the need to washout excess labeling reagent. Currently no general method exists for controlled stoichiometric or sub-stoichiometric labeling of proteins in live cells. To overcome this limitation we have developed a faster more stable tetrazine-containing amino acid (Tet-2.0) and have genetically encoded this amino acid in response to an amber codon. We have demonstrated that in vivo r...]]></description><pubDate>Thu, 11 Feb 2016 14:35:17 GMT</pubDate><author>advantage@oregonstate.edu</author><guid>https://oregonstate.technologypublisher.com/tech/Genetic_incorporation_of_tetrazine_amino_acids_and_use_in_bioorthogonal_ligations</guid></item><item><title>Lymphatic drug delivery system and drugs for metastatic melanoma</title><caseId>OSU-15-31</caseId><link>https://oregonstate.technologypublisher.com/tech/Lymphatic_drug_delivery_system_and_drugs_for_metastatic_melanoma</link><description><![CDATA[Technology Description &nbsp;Oregon State University is seeking a licensee for a patented drug delivery system for the treatment of metastatic melanoma.
