This technology identifies enzymatic routes to synthesize amide oligomers with defined sequence to improve polymerization of existing materials or enable polymerization of new materials. Polymers are generally composed of one (e.g. Nylon 6) or two (e.g.
The technologies described provides for the upcycling of mixed plastics to muonic acid and 3-hydroxyacids.
This invention is for bacterial strains that can utilize lignocellulose sugars. This will improve the efficiency of bioproduct formation in these strains and reduce the greenhouse-gas emission of an industrial bi
Buildings are energy intensive and contribute to carbon dioxide emissions while accounting for one-third of energy consumption worldwide. Heat pump technology can assist in electrification and decarbonization efforts.
ORNL has developed bacterial strains that can utilize a common plastic co-monomer as a feedstock. This will help enable modern, petroleum-derived plastics to be converted into value-added chemicals.
We have developed bacterial strains that can convert sustainable feedstocks and waste feedstocks into chemical precursors for next generation plastics.
ORNL has identified a panel of novel nylon hydrolases with varied substrate and product selectivity.
Genetic modification of microbes that are thermophiles—ones that grow at elevated temperatures—is extremely challenging. Tools developed for E. coli, a typical host for protein production, typically do not function at elevated temperatures.
An innovative system for automating the surveillance and manipulation of plant tissues using advanced machine vision and robotic tools.
The widespread use of inexpensive salt hydrate-based phase change materials, or PCMs, has been prevented by a key technical challenge: phase separation, also known as incongruency, which results in the significant degradation of the materials' ability to store thermal energy o
