Practical results

In 2005, the Institute applied for patents on inventions relating to

• method of preparation of doxorubicin polymer conjugates with pH-controlled release of the drug
• method of modification of ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene for manufacture of joint replacements with enhanced service life
• membrane process for recovery and concentration of biohydrogen

Application studies for the following inventions patented earlier are still in progress

• polymer drug conjugates in the treatment of tumors
• polymer coating for medical devices
• reactive N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide polymers for polymeric drugs, gene delivery and modifications of proteins
• a new flexible strategy for magnetic resonance imaging using polymeric contrast agents
• functionalized polymers of alpha-aminoacids
• a wound-cover polymer material containing radical scavengers
• hydrogel implants for treatment of incontinence
• a polyamide/polyisobutylene composition
• functionalized superparamagnetic particles
• magnetic particles coated with selected polysaccharides
• compatibilizers for polyolefin-polystyrene blends
• a process of recycling commingled plastic waste to tough thermoplastic materials
• polybutadiene-based hindered amine light stabilizers
