Production of Surface Functionalized Transparent Ultrasound Transducers

Company: PSU Medina-Kothapalli Labs

Major(s):
Primary: BME
Secondary: MATSE
Optional: ESC

Non-Disclosure Agreement: NO

Intellectual Property: YES

The primary goal of the team will be to develop methods to create functional chemical groups on the surface of transparent ultrasound transducers. Various functionalities and surface characteristics will be sought while maintaining the integrity of the transducer device. A secondary goal will be to specifically create a surface amenable to human cell adhesion and proliferation.

About

Our mission is to help bring the real-world into the classroom by providing engineering students with practical hands-on experience through industry-sponsored and client-based capstone design projects. Since its inception, the Learning Factory has completed more than 1,800 projects for more than 500 different sponsors, and nearly 9,000 engineering students at Penn State University Park participated in such a project.
