Applied Materials Synthesis
Our applied materials synthesis facility includes a 2,000 square
foot laboratory dedicated to the special synthetic and processing requirements of organic
and inorganic polymers, composites, ceramics and catalysts. Various polymer,
preceramic materials, biomaterial composites and adhesives, refractory coatings,
zeolite-supported and soluble catalysts, silicones and silanes have been produced and
developed in the laboratory. Special equipment such as inert atmosphere glove boxes
are available for the anaerobic and anhydrous handling of materials which are
air-sensitive. Aggressive and highly reactive materials are routinely and safely
handled in the laboratory. Syntheses from routine polymerizations to specialized
procedures requiring dry solvent and inert atmospheres can be performed on scales from
milligrams to kilograms.
