As a quick commercialization agent and manufacturing accelerator for composite products, NCC is committed to helping customers u
nlock the advantages of breakthrough materials and develop cost saving manufacturing processes to produce a wide range of products for a variety of applications. Nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and nanofibers and nanographene platelets can deliver unique mechanical, thermal, electrical and barrier properties as well as weight reduction, when incorporated into a composite structure.
To speed the development and use of this technology, NCC’s team of engineers is working to characterize nanocomposites. For customers, this means the ability to obtain the kind of preliminary test results needed to verify benefits of incorporating nanomaterial into a composite and justify further investment in the technology.
In addition, the Center is able to analyze and process nanoparticles and then qualify the resulting nanocomposite material to ensure batch consistency. NCC is also a recognized expert in its work to commercialize thin film applications in nanocomposites.The Center is partnering on a number of projects to develop processing technologies as well as design and build the associated equipment.Through collaboration with leading government, industrial, and academic partners, NCC is also providing critical engineering and technology support for a variety of nanotechnology programs.By combining these areas of activity, NCC is quickly building a center of expertise for total nanocomposite technology solutions.
