The Ohio Third Frontier Commission has recommended $67 million in grants be given to partnerships that are working on advanced energy and biomedical technologies, and to companies on the verge of commercializing new products.
Recipients would include several local collaborations:
• AlphaMicron Inc. in Kent (collaborating with NASA Glenn Research Center, Kent State University, and Sekisui Chemical Co.) was recommended for $5 million in funding to begin commercializing its Adaptive Windows technology.
The company specializes in liquid crystal applications for electronically controllable eyewear, and the specific project is to create a window that has a self-regulating and powered electronically controllable tint.
• reXorce Thermionics Inc. in Akron (collaborating with Parker Hannifin Corp., Case Western Reserve University, the University of Akron, Carbide Derivative Technologies Inc., and Advanced Diamond Technologies Inc.) was recommended for $4.3 million in funding to develop technology that can capture waste heat and convert it into usable electricity.
• The Cleveland Clinic's Clinical Tissue Engineering Center (collaborating with Akron General Medical Center, Case Western Reserve University, the University of Akron, and the University of Cincinnati) was recommended for $4.9 million in funding to expand programs in the areas of burn and scar care, wound healing and nerve repair.
• Northeastern Ohio Universities Colleges of Medicine and Pharmacy in Rootstown (collaborating with Kent State University and Pathogen Systems Inc.) was recommended for $3 million in funding for commercialization of a liquid crystal-based antibody system for detecting common pathogens in water samples in as little as 30 minutes.
• Stark State College of Technology in North Canton (collaboration with Rolls-Royce Fuel Cell Systems Inc. and Contained Energy Inc.) was recommended for $3 million in funding for the expansion of industry and education partnerships for fuel cell commercialization.
• The Ohio State University Research Foundation (collaborating with Delta Plant Technologies, the University of Akron, Bridgestone Americas Center for Technology and Research, Cooper Tire & Rubber Co., and the Ohio BioProducts Innovation Center) was recommended for $3 million in funding to develop a domestic source of natural rubber and a new industry for Ohio and the United States.
• The University of Akron is a partner in a project led by the University of Dayton, which has been recommended for $5 million in funding to increase the performance of existing composite materials by developing and applying new coatings without compromising processability.
