Below are the most recent technologies our office has available for license in this
research area.
Ref # 01096 Structured-Optimized, Ultrathin Graphene Oxide Membranes for Ion Removal
in Water Purification
The University of South Carolina is offering licensing opportunities for graphene
membranes with sub-nanometer pores capable of removing ions from water, particularly
relatively large ions (e.g., large radioactive ions), to purify water and treat wastewater.
Inventor: Miao Yu, Ph.D.
Ref # 01086 Direct Piezoelectric Fabrication of 3D Structures
The University of South Carolina is offering licensing opportunities for a novel additive
manufacturing methodology that can produce lead-free, multifunctional 3D piezoelectric
devices using a single polymer processing and fabrication step.
Inventors: Joshua Tarbutton, Ph.D.
ChaBum Lee, Ph.D.
Ref # 1004 Scalable and Highly Repeatable Fabrication of Low Cost, Ultrathin Graphene
Oxide Membranes for Highly Selective Gas Separation
The University of South Carolina is offering licensing opportunities for a new class
of ultrathin, graphene-based nanomesh with superior separation performance. By precisely
adjusting membrane morphology, these nanomeshes can be used for a number of mixture
separations.
Inventors: Miao Yu Ph.D.

Ref # 01019 Catalyst Technology For One-Step Upgrading Of Biomass-Derived Chemicals
The University of South Carolina is offering licensing opportunities for novel catalyst
technology for biofuel production that combines traditional methods into a single
process that does not require liquid phase operations.
Inventors: Jochen Lauterbach, Ph.D.
Jason Hattrick-Simpers, Ph.D.
