Electromagnetic Processing Line (EMP)

Capabilities

  • Field assisted alignment of nanoparticles and suspendable materials
  • Novel film formation process where through thickness “Z-direction” properties of films / membranes are substantially enhanced through preferential orientation of functional nanoparticles and polymer phases using external electric, magnetic and thermal gradient fields
  • Mercury and lead UV for on demand cure after alignment
  • Thermal annealing capabilities post processing
  • Custom built film processing line
