NJCEP performs a unique blend of fundamental and applied research to develop predictable, environmentally conscious manufacturing processes and profitable applications for value-added powder materials having tailored surface or bulk properties. The research program combines different interdisciplinary areas such as; mechanical processing, supercritical fluid processing, hydrothermal processing, and microarc processing to produce engineered particles. Many of these materials involve the use of nano-particles and exploit their unique properties to create highly functional materials.
