Thank you for your interest in Center for Materials, Devices and Integrated Systems (CMDIS) facilities Open House on September 11th, Wednesday. The facilities are multi-user, shared instrumentation laboratories and provide support for fundamental materials research through integrated systems engineering applications. 

Each session will take approximately 20 minutes, the sessions will be closed as they fill. After each section, please indicate the times you plan to visit. 

For questions: rended3@rpi.edu

The MNCR facility is on the 4th floor of the CII building, while the NCC and PPCC labs are on the 1st and 2nd floors of the MRC building. Since the two buildings are an 8-minute walk apart, please plan accordingly and make sure not to schedule tours at the same time to avoid conflicts.

After submitting the form, you'll receive an auto-generated email with a summary of your schedule. Please make sure to follow the schedule as outlined. Thank you!

Micro and Nanofabrication Clean Room (MNCR) covers 5,000 sqft Class100 (10,000 sqft total) space at Center for Industry Innovation (CII) building with broad range of processing, measurement and fabrication tools to create new structures, devices and systems at the micro and nanoscale. It is unique for its universal capabilities, i.e. the facility is adaptable to wide range of materials, systems and geometries.

Nanoscale Characterization Core offers a powerful suite of tools  for characterizing materials and devices via microscopy, surface analysis, spectroscopy and diffraction techniques. The chemistry, composition, morphology and structure of various samples can be evaluated down to the nanometer level. We also have capabilities for sample preparation towards different types of microscopy. 

Polymer Processing and Characterization Core is a combination of laboratories to prepare and process polymers and composite materials with testing and characterization capabilities at the nano and micro scale. The facility houses nanoindenter, atomic force microscope, confocal raman microscope, FTIR, microtome and several other analytical capabilities. 

The characterization cores are located in the Materials Research Center (MRC) building.
