US Patent Issued to SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY on Dec. 23 for "Patterning structures in reactive ferrofluidic polymer resins" (New York Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 23 -- United States Patent no. 12,503,563, issued on Dec. 23, was assigned to SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY.

"Patterning structures in reactive ferrofluidic polymer resins" was invented by Ian D. Hosein (Syracuse, N.Y.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A patterned surface structure formed from a ferrofluidic polymer resin having a plurality of magnetic nanoparticles. The polymer resin is patterned with a magnetic field that is applied to the ferrofluidic polymer resin during curing. The ferrofluidic polymer resin may be cast over a non-magnetic planar substrate. A magnetic field is applied to the ferrofluidic polymer resin to induce a pattern in a surface of the ferrofluidic polymer ...
