Commercialization
falls into five research areas: Chemical Sciences; Metals and
Ceramics; Physics; and Solid State and Inorganic Membrane Technology. See available technologies.
Chemical Sciences Division: Emphasis
is given to analytical chemistry, and the specialty areas of
radiochemistry, geochemistry and materials chemistry are well
represented. Experimental research activities are complemented
by theoretical and computational approaches.
For
more information, please contact the
commercialization manager.
Metals and Ceramics Division: Basic
and applied research programs are focused on the thrust areas
of high-temperature design, structural ceramics, and radiation
effects.
For
more information, please contact the
commercialization manager.
Physics
Division: Concerned
primarily with studies of the fundamental properties of matter
at the atomic, nuclear, and subnuclear level, and the development
of experimental devices in support of these studies.
For
more information, please contact the
commercialization manager.
Condensed
Matter Sciences Division: The
Condensed Matter Sciences Division is organized into five major
sections: Solid State Theory; Neutron Scattering; Ceramics
and Interfaces; Particle-Surface Interactions; and Thin Films
and Microstructures.
For
more information, please contact the
commercialization manager.
Inorganic
Membrane Technology Laboratory: Versatile IMTL inorganic
membranes offer solutions to challenges in
- the oil
and petrochemical industry, reducing production costs by capturing
reusable by-products;
- fossil fuel
energy production, cleaning coal of impurities and improving
fuel efficiency and air quality;
- natural
gas exploration, efficiently removing impurities and moisture;
- pulp and
paper manufacturing, reducing the amount of chemicals released
to the environment; and
- water cleanup/purification,
producing potable and process grade water for industry and
municipalities.
