NANORESEARCH / TESTING AND RESEARCH
NanoResearch, Inc. provides materials testing, battery research, prototype development and engineering support for companies, researchers and technology developers. Our capabilities combine company-owned equipment with access to specialized university facilities through established agreements and project-specific research collaborations.
NANORESEARCH OWNED EQUIPMENT
Our equipment supports materials development, battery research, characterization and prototype fabrication. Selected company-owned equipment is hosted at Clark Atlanta University under our collaborative relationship. Equipment selection and testing location are confirmed for each engagement.
Develop and modify advanced materials, battery anode and cathode materials, coatings and composites.
Furnaces; hydrothermal synthesis equipment; ball mills; vortex and vacuum mixers; ultrasonic processors and cleaners; vacuum ovens; gloveboxes for air-sensitive materials.
Evaluate material morphology, particle characteristics and formulation properties.
Digital microscope; tap-density analyzer; laser particle-size analyzer; surface-area and pore-size analyzer; conductivity and pH analyzer; portable thermal imaging camera.
Prepare thin films, coatings and research-scale battery electrodes.
Spin coater; thin-film coater with vacuum chuck; blade coater with vacuum holding and heated plate; vacuum mixer; ultrasonic processor; viscometer; thin-film heating and pressing equipment; heated-roll calender; vacuum oven; glovebox.
Prepare research-scale coin cells, pouch cells and solid-state battery prototypes.
Coin cells: electrode punching, slitting and disc-cutting equipment, coin-cell assembly equipment, three-electrode test cells and glovebox. Pouch cells: manual slitter, semi-automatic die cutter and dies, pouch former and dies, manual stacker, ultrasonic foil spot welder, hot and vacuum sealers, hot pressing and shaping equipment and glovebox. Solid-state prototypes: assembly molds and test fixtures.
Investigate charge–discharge behavior, cyclic voltammetry, impedance and thermal response.
Battery cyclers and performance testers; internal-resistance and voltage testers; potentiostats; galvanostats; impedance analyzers; thermal imaging camera.
Support thermal investigations, dimensional inspection and prototype evaluation.
Thermocouples; infrared thermometers; thermal imaging cameras; FluxTeq instrumentation for appropriately configured heat-flux and thermal-conductivity studies; height gauges; vernier calipers; micrometers; fillet and dial gauges; balances.
Build experimental fixtures, models and functional prototypes.
3D printer; miniature lathe and milling machines; drilling, bending, riveting and grinding equipment; hand shears; precision sheet-metal punching and blanking dies.
Support design, modeling, simulation and optimization alongside experimental research.
Customized software for passive thermal management, battery cells and packs, product development and energy-resilience assessment; virtual battery and hydrogen fuel-cell laboratories; physics and mathematics training platforms; invention documentation and patent-drafting assistance.
Support responsible laboratory operations and material handling.
Protective equipment; fume hoods; fire-safety provisions; material-handling and waste-management procedures.
Shared instruments support several activities. Digital engineering and simulation outputs are distinguished from experimental measurements in the agreed deliverables.
UNIVERSITY FACILITIES AND RESEARCH RELATIONSHIPS
These resources complement NanoResearch’s own equipment. Access is coordinated for approved project scopes, subject to applicable agreements, training, scheduling and facility requirements.
Our Cooperative Research and Development Agreement supports collaborative research, technology development, education and workforce development. Selected NanoResearch-owned equipment is located at CAU to support collaborative activities.
Through our IEN shared-user agreement, NanoResearch accesses specialized microfabrication, nanofabrication and materials-characterization resources at Georgia Tech.
Specialized coating, bonding and interface-evaluation work is coordinated according to project requirements and available equipment.
NanoResearch’s NASA working relationships support coordination of specialized research and evaluation, with particular emphasis on NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
Facility-based activities are arranged for defined projects and remain subject to applicable agreements, technical scope, availability and facility approval.
DISCUSS YOUR TESTING REQUIREMENTS
Share your material or prototype, testing objectives, sample quantities, requested methods and preferred schedule. We will assess the requirements and prepare a proposed technical scope, deliverables, schedule and quotation.
