US university chemists plan to produce ultra-thin polyurethane condoms
When the market need super thin condoms, the researcher and professor need work out as market demand. Eugene at Oregon — Chemists at the University of Oregon are developing a new material polyurethane condom with a $100,000 grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, who support all world’s condom project which can promote the use of condom to protect people.
The university’s polymer laboratory team at its Center for Advanced Materials Characterization is looking to engineer a super thin condom which changes shape when heated. They also plan to develop a process for embedding the material with anti-STD nanoparticles.
Research professor and director of the laboratory Richard Chartoff and team are collaborating with polymers and biomedical PU applications specialist Bela Pukanszky from Budapest University of Technology and Economics, and a Hungarian colleague Belazs Imre.
If the team is successful, it can apply for a second grant up to $1m.
