MISSION

The Nanomaterials Application Center coordinates, facilitates and participates in nanoscience and nanoengineering applications and expedites commercialization of inventions.

GOALS

To enable collaboration and strategic partnerships between industrial and academic researchers and high technology entrepreneurs.
To accelerate the transfer of nanotechnology from concept through R&D and finally to commercialization.
To enhance the environment for emerging nanotechnologies in the Austin-San Antonio Corridor and throughout the state and nation.
 

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.

Benefits of Partnership with NAC

Members of the NAC enjoy many benefits including:

  • Access to scientific know-how and advanced instrumentation for nanotechnology through Texas State's own laboratories and research centers.
  • The capability to rapidly assemble multidisciplinary teams with a wide range of experimental, theoretical, and simulation skills.
  • The ability to focus powerful resources on their immediate, critical path challenges.
  • Access to other world-class institutes through Texas State's many academic collaborators.
  • Merging the strengths of private business, government, and academia in joint projects.
  • Access to a highly trained and educated workforce in Texas State graduates.
