Whey-based wood adhesive offers environmental benefits	Guo	371	Wood glue incorporates whey, a sustainable biomass resource. The product meets or exceeds strength and durability standards for structural use.
Adaptive protective covering for a conductor	Huston Esser	181	Self-healing covering for electrical conductors toughens in areas exposed to wear and moisture, yet leaves the remaining cable flexible.
Process for fabricating thin films and thin wire-like structures	Hendrick	144	Single-step, low-temperature process for fabricating thin films and thin wire-like structures, including organic semiconductor materials, offers a high degree of control and wide variation in materials and structures.
