Material Analysis Tools Available at Cornell

Many engineers and managers in the Southern Tier don’t realize that they have local access to world-class materials analysis and processing equipment, including:
* Electron & optical microscopy
* Spectroscopy & electronic measurements
* Surface analysis & characterization
* Soft matter/polymer analysis
* X-ray & diffraction analysis
* Thin film deposition & materials processing
* Mechanical properties, testing & analysis

These and other resources are available at the Cornell Center for Materials Research in Ithaca, and the best way to learn how to take advantage of them is to attend a one-day course on April 3rd.

Facilities 101 is the title of an industry-focused introduction to the shared equipment, laboratories, and staff associated with the CCMR. This course provides an opportunity to meet one-on-one with the technical staff who manage the facilities, take walking tours of the labs, see equipment demonstrations, and discuss your particular interests with an expert.

The program is recommended for technical directors, product managers, engineers, technicians, and consultants looking to better understand Cornell’s capabilities in materials analysis, processing, and problem-solving.

The first ten registrants receive a free sample analysis, focusing on properties such as 1) Chemical analysis - Identify unknown materials; determine a sample’s structure, compound, phase, or morphology, 2) Micro and surface analysis - Obtain images of your sample’s surface, and analyze its composition at the nanoscale, or 3) Physical properties analysis - Measure the surface roughness or thickness, determine the viscosity or shear strength of a material.
