The SMSECore enables research and development programs by providing expertise and access to state-of-the-art equipment for the synthesis, processing, and testing of materials.
Synthesis
SMSECore is excited to have a new synthesis center coming online in 2022. This facility will provide access to pre-pilot scale synthetic glassware and equipment for scaling chemistry beyond the bench top.
Processing
Tools and instrumentation for processing and fabricating devices from various materials, including forming, cutting, polishing, milling, coating, molding, extruding, and environmental conditioning.
Testing
Equipment and expertise to evaluate and characterize material composition, properties, and behavior, including molecular size and dispersity, permeability, and tensile, compressive, and rheological properties
