Microencapsulation of Chemical Additives
There is a need for a new process for encapsulating complex chemical additives, where microcapsules can give strong performance under hostile chemical and mechanical conditions. While microencapsulation technique is a mature technology, microcapsule products made by traditional techniques may work well only in relatively simple, passive and non-hostile...

Polyhedra Golf Ball with Lower Drag Coefficient
Researchers at the George Washington University have invented a novel class of golf balls having a polyhedra design that can yield lower drag coefficient than designs based on dimpled spheres. The drag reduction is applicable to other sports equipment in general having a bluff body, such as the head of a golf club or a bike helmet.
For the past 100...

Production of Li-Ion Battery-Grade Graphite
Researchers at The George Washington University are developing an innovative method to make high purity crystalline flake graphite from low-cost biomass. The novel Graphite technology invented at GW will slash cost of Li-Ion battery grade graphite (99.5% purity) by more than 80% (from about $20,000/ton to $2,500/ton). Considering the “STRATEGIC”...
