Processing and characterization of materials, and study of the properties of new devices made from these materials
The facility is unique as it uses a number of cutting-edge technologies to manufacture and characterize materials and electrochemical devices.
- Electrochemical measurements: voltammetry, impedance, scanning electron microscopy
- Electrical measurements: electrical conductivity, current and voltage characteristics
- Thin film deposition: centrifuging, vapour phase polymerization, sol-gel
- Aerospace and satellites
- Clean technology
- Education
- Energy
- Healthcare and social services
- Manufacturing and processing
