TECHNOLOGY DAY planned for January 2009
| Click on the above for the Colloquium schedule |
The Nanomaterials Application Center coordinates, facilitates, and participates in nanoscience and nanoengineering applications and expedites commercialization of inventions.
GOALS
- Enable collaboration and strategic partnerships between industrial and academic researchers and high technology entrepreneurs.
- Accelerate the transfer of nanotechnology from concept through R&D and into commercialization.
- Enhance the environment for and expedite commercialization of emerging technologies.
Areas of Interest
The NAC membership is interested in all forms of nanotechnology. These range from nanocrystals and nanoclusters to carbon nanotubes; conducting, semiconducting, magnetic and superconducting Nanomaterials, nanowires, and quantum dots; polymer-templated nanostructures; self-assembly and supramolecular assembly of biopolymer and biomimetic structures; molecular and nano-electronics and single electron devices; MEMS and NEMS devices; and reduced dimensionality and complex-structured materials. The focus on NANO-SAFETY is an outgrowth of the observations that most emerging companies do not have research background to establish a solid program to protect people and the environment.
Benefits of Partnership with NAC
- Access to scientific know-how and advanced instrumentation for nanotechnology through Texas State's own laboratories and research centers.
- Capability to rapidly assemble multidisciplinary teams with a wide range of experimental, theoretical, and simulation skills.
- Ability to focus powerful resources on immediate, critical path challenges.
- Access to other world-class institutes through Texas State's many collaborators.
- Merge the strengths of private business, government, and academia in joint projects.
- Ease of establishing collaborative agreements.
- Access to a highly trained and educated workforce in Texas State graduates.
- Provide the support required for ETF awards.
