Nanotechnology Pilot Plant
Ceramic Corridor Innovation Center

The Nanotechnology Pilot Plant, located in Ceramic Corridor Innovation Center, includes nearly 500 square feet of a Class 10,000 clean room environment, a suite of Keko manufacturing equipment for making multilayer ceramics, and microwave sintering equipment.

The facility was funded by a $ 1.8 M grant made to the Center for Advanced Ceramic Technology (CACT) by the NYS Office of Science, Technology and Academic Research (NYSTAR). In collaboration with colleagues at Clarkson University and industry partners, researchers at Alfred University will use the facility to consolidate nanosized ceramic powders into multi-layer and monolithic ceramics, while retaining the enhanced properties associated with nanostructured materials.
