Motivation

1
Combinatorial and high-throughput (C&HT) techniques hold great potential for making research more productive, more thorough, and less wasteful. However, significant technical barriers have prevented the widespread adoption of these revolutionary methods by the materials research sector:
  • Fabrication of Materials Combi Libraries
  • HT Materials Measurements
  • Lack of C&HT Research Implementation Strategies
  •  

    NCMC Objectives

    1
    The NCMC serves industry, government and academia by lowering barriers to the acquisition of combinatorial and high throughput techniques for materials research
  • Measurement Methods Development
  • Technology Transfer
  • Education, Training and Vision
  • Technology Brokering
  • Community Forming
  •
