Below are the thirteen research teams for the 2010-2011 school year.
     
    Advance Polymerization
 CO_SPINNING RESEARCH AND RELATED APPLICATIONS
 

Research Goal:
To explore the possibilities of electrospinning more than one polymer nanofiber at a time (co-spinning) or otherwise fusing separate polymers into a single lattice or strand to study the properties of co-spun fibers.  To develop material combinations with enhanced properties over single polymer nanofibers.
   
   
     
  Aero Corp.
 INSULATIVE PROPERTIES OF POLYMER NANOFIBERS
 

Research Goal:
 To search for innovative methods of using nanofibers as insulation.
   
   
   
   
     
  A.M. Industries
 DEVELOP AN ANTIBACTERIAL FABRIC
 

Research Goal:
 To develop an anti-bacterial fabric.  We will combine our work with Taknology to create a highly functional blanket.
   
   
     
  A.M.T.I.
 DEVELOP ARTIFICIAL MUSCLES
 

Research Goal:
 To research the possibility of creating exterior artificial muscles for medical, industrial and/or military use to satisfy human needs.
   
   
   
   
     
  COSWEB International
 PROTECTIVE COATINGS
 

Research Goal:
 To develop a highly effective protective coating.

   
     
  Ezo Products
 PIEZOELECTRIC NANOFIBERS AND APPLICATIONS
 

Research Goal:
 To design and produce a new environmentally friendly energy source utilizing piezoelectric nanofibers.

   
   
   
   
     
  FC Tech
 HYDROGEN FUEL CELL RESEARCH
 

Research Goal:
 Our goal is to research and develop a more efficient hydrogen fuel cell by creating a polymer membrane which will improve the efficiency of the cell. We may also research how to create a polymer that will reduce sulfate buildup on car batteries; therefore increasing the typical life expectancy.
   
   
     
  Multi Spin
 CO_SPINNING RESEARCH AND RELATED APPLICATIONS
  Research Goal:
To overcome the difficulties of co spinning or to find a viable substitute for the co spinning process.  We hope that the end result give us a product that is able to retain multiple properties.
   
   
   
   
     
  NanoChromic Industries
 PHOTO- AND THERMO- CHROMIC POLYMER NANOFIBERS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS
  Research Goal:
 To explore the possibility of developing photochromic nano-fibers. The ultimate goal of our research is to develop fabrics that change colors with different light.
   
   
   
   
     
  Nano Sci-lence
 SOUND ABSORBING AND NOISE CANCELATION PROPERTIES OF POLYMER NANOFIBERS
  Research Goal:
To design and create a sound absorbing fabric for sound proofing material utilizing nanofibers.
   
   
   
   
     
  PiezoPro
 PIEZOELECTRIC NANOFIBERS AND APPLICATIONS
  Research Goal:
 To design and produce a new environmentally friendly energy source utilizing piezoelectric nanofibers.
