Nanotechnology Center

This one-of-a-kind pilot scale prototype facility has the capability to manufacture up to one kilogram an hour of nanopowder of virtually any metal or ceramic material, a dedicated nanomaterial characterization laboratory, and a set up to fabricate bulk nanostructured components.

The facilities includes a induction plasma system to produce nanopowders, a state-of-the-art x-ray diffraction & x-ray scattering equipment, and variety of other apparatus needed to characterize physical, thermal, chemical, and metallurgical properties of nanomaterials. Imaging equipment such as electron microscope shall be installed in the near future.
