Manufacturing

Bozlar Nanoscience Lab

The Bozlar Nanoscience Lab is a multidisciplinary materials science research group with full capability for wet chemistry research with fume hood and chemical processing stations, as well as an electrospinning setup. The lab recently acquired a high-end thermoplastic polymer micro-extruder that allows processing of polymers up to 450 oC. BNL is also equipped with instrumentation for the electrical characterization of materials. Other capabilities include various types of wireless sensing instrumentation for gas and liquid (temperature, moisture, CO2).

Institute for Predictive Performance Methodologies

IPPM offers education, research and development experience in simulation, design, and manufacturing of composite materials, sensors and other bioengineering devices, nanomaterial design and fabrication, characterization of material properties and performance under mechanical (including high rate loading), thermal, and electrical/dielectrical applied environments
