Advanced Materials

Advanced Materials are new and traditional materials that have been improved with new technologies. It broadly refers to materials that have undergone modifications to achieve specific properties with superior performance. Some examples of advanced materials may include: new types of alloys and ceramics, semiconductors, biomaterials, nanoengineered materials, polymer fiber composites, and aerogels. The unending demand for stronger, lighter and cheaper materials sustains the advanced materials industry. Listed below are industries developing advanced materials that have used our lab:

Aerospace

The aerospace industry is engaged in the research, development, and manufacture of flight vehicles, including unpowered gliders and sailplanes, missiles, space launch vehicles, and spacecraft (manned and unmanned); flight vehicle subsystems such as propulsion and avionics (aviation electronics); and key support systems necessary for the testing, operation, and maintenance of flight vehicles. In addition, the industry is engaged in the fabrication of non-aerospace products and systems that make use of aerospace technology. Listed below are industries specializing in aerospce technology that have used our lab:

Alternative Energy

Alternative energy industries deal with technological advances needed to harness energy from all possible sources other than the traditional fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas. This may include renewable resources such as wind, solar, geothermal, and biofuels. Listed below are industries working on alternative energy research that have found our lab useful:

Automotive

The automotive industry is involved in the manufacture of motor vehicles, including most components, such as engines and bodies, but excluding tires, batteries, and fuel. The industry’s principal products are passenger automobiles and light trucks. Listed below are automotive companies that have found our lab useful:

Composite Materials

Composites are materials made from two or more different material components that, when combined gives a superior property than the individual components themselves. Composites offer better strength, light weight, corrosion resistance, design flexibility and durability. A typical composition of composites are fiber reinforcements and resin matrix that bonds the fibers. Listed below are companies working on composites that have found our lab useful:

Environmental Science

The field of environmental science provides an integrated, quantitative and interdisciplinary approach to the study of environmental systems and its problems. The field work on subjects such as earth processes, alternative energy systems, pollution control and mitigation, natural resource management and the effects of global climate change among others. Listed below are companies in the environmental science sector that have found our lab useful:
