The Combinatorial Methods Group develops infrastructure and methodology
for high-throughput measurements on polymer materials including films and coatings,
complex fluid formulations, nanostructured systems, and functional materials
such as adhesives; and provides expertise on the design and implementation of
combinatorial methods to the industrial and scientific communities, and in support
of NIST programs, including facilities for demonstrations, method validation, and
collaborative data generation. The group works closely to address issues of
the Electronics
Materials and Biomaterials
Groups for their structure and properties characterization,
and co-ordinates the NIST
Combinatorial Methods Center, a multi-tier consortium which
directly serves the needs of industrial, academic, and government
customers. |
