“…The author showed that about 10% of the new products and process commercialized were based on university research in those areas between 1975 and 1985. Tornquist and Kallsen [39] suggested that universities with more resources, history of applied research, and high salaries of faculties produce results which fit to industrial need. They also found that higher quality universities with excellent faculties generate more suitable research result for commercialization.…”

This paper provides a comprehensive review of literature on university technology transfer. The success of nations depends on how efficient research can be translated into commercial products. Universities play a key role in this. There are two major areas that need to be understood to build an efficient technology transfer mechanisms. First are the characteristics of each university. The literature provides evidence that university characteristics play a role. Second is having right set of metrics. Therefore this paper concludes with a set of propositions for impacting factors and a proposed process made up of phases that can be used to measure the technology transfer success accurately.

Following landmark legislation passed more than 20 years ago, universityindustry relationships have now become central to understanding the changing role of research universities in American Society. The paper analyzes the development of university-industry partnerships during the 1990s. Past studies have used a broad array of measures of ties and a variety of research methodologies, but they have shared a focus on top collaborators or on samples of universities skewed toward the top. However, findings based on top collaborators may not be valid for other universities. Universities involved in mid-to low-levels of collaboration are qualitatively different in many ways from the more extensively studied set of top collaborators, suggesting that characteristics affecting university-industry ties may not be the same for these institutions. The paper shifts the focus away from top collaborators to this sizable and less studied majority. In general, we find that the same characteristics predicting high levels of involvement for the sample as a whole also predict high levels of involvement for the sub-sample of mid-and low-level collaborators. However, We find some particular characteristics of these institutions, such as land grant status, are also associated with stronger ties to industry, and that some characteristics of 25 top institutions do not predict the level of involvement of these lower-level collaborators. We will discuss whether the licensing of new technology is likely ever to become an important source of net revenues for current middle and low-level collaborators. Our findings raise doubts about whether many universities below the top 25 will earn substantial net revenues from licensing, though they do not dispute the potential service value of these ties. The study is based on examination of a wide range of potential influences on universityindustry collaboration for institutions that are not currently among the most heavily involved in partnerships. These include status, other institutional characteristics (such as size and control), investment in science and engineering, and characteristics of offices or technology transfer.

Density, viscosity, and surface tension data sets of 13 ionic liquids formed by imidazolium, pyridinium, or pyrrolidinium cations paired with dicyanamide (DCA -), tetrafluoroborate (BF 4 -), thiocyanate (SCN -), methylsulfate (MeSO 4 -), and trifluoroacetate (TFA -) anions are reported. The properties were measured at temperatures between (293 and 363) K. The effect of the ionic liquid forming anion and cation on the physical properties is analyzed systematically. As expected, the measured density, viscosity, and surface tension of the studied ionic liquids decreased with an increment in temperature. The density measurements were linearly correlated as a function of temperature, and the viscosities were fitted to a Vogel-Fulcher-Tamman equation. The density and surface tension data were used to estimate expansivity coefficients and surface thermodynamic properties of the ionic liquids. The physical properties are determined by the nature, size, and possible interactions of the ions forming the liquid. In general, ionic liquids with dicyanamide as anion exhibited lower densities and viscosities but a somewhat higher surface tension than all other ionic liquids used here. A longer alkyl chain in imidazolium-based ionic liquids was associated with lower density, higher viscosity, and lower surface tension.
