The following are Licensing Opportunities in Engineering Science:

Bio-based PC Resin for Injection Moulding [1]

Bioplastics engineers at the University of Guelph have developed a high performance PC+PLA blend (32% renewable) to compete with PC+ABS blends. The novel formulation (bioPC) includes acrylic core/shell impact modifiers and a number of bio-sourced mineral fillers with high impact strength and heat deflection temperature. The blend is intended for durable applications and inventors are now seeking co-innovation partner(s) for scale-up and applications testing.

Bio-based ABS Resin for Injection Moulding [2]

Bioplastics engineers at the University of Guelph have developed a bio-based ABS blend that contains up to 30% PLA.

Customizable Multiplexed Bioassays [3]

This invention allows a user to produce their own customized multiplexed bioassay without the need for complex and expensive microaray spotters or proprietary equipment.

Fluorescent Bioassay Signal Amplification [4]

This technology is a combination of substrate and reagent that amplifies bioassay fluorescence signals, lowering the limit of detection by an order of magnitude or mroe relative to ELISA. Useful for research and development requiring highly sensitive bioassays that does not require complex equipment.

Process for Removal of Halogenated Hydrocarbons [5]

Researchers at the University of Guelph have developed a novel method to efficiently remove a variety of these of toxic compounds from waste streams at low cost by converting the halogenated hydrocarbons into non-halogenated materials.

Smart Whole Body Vibration Attenuation for Vehicle Seating [6]

Researchers at the University of Guelph have developed a device which replaces the cushions of seats in heavy equipment that upgrades vehicle seats with modern anti-vibration technology to maximize ride comfort for the operator for long periods.
