The University of Dayton Research Institute has opened what it calls the world’s first manufacturing center for product demonstration of nano-enhanced polymer composites. The new Center for Multifunctional Polymer Nanocomposites and Devices (CMPND) will allow manufacturers to “try out” nanotechnology for use in their composite products without the major investment dollars and risk involved in purchasing new equipment and retooling their facilities.
