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.
