> (Unnamed): Infection-resistant materials for preventing infections

Why not give it a temp name for now? Seems strange to leave it unnamed

That was my bad, I forgot to list it on the application. We've been using the name Feynman Nano as a way of paying respect to the godfather of nanoscience and the first nanoscience entreprenuer (or so I've been told, haven't been able to verify).
"Septiphobic Materials" seems to be free
While that's a technically accurate name (in much the same way an "oleophobic" coating can help keep oil off lenses), I don't think you'd want to build a company around something with "phobic" in the name.
Have no fear for fear is here?
