| 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.
