Key Facilities

The MBI includes facilities for supporting the design, fabrication, testing and pilot production of microchannel process technology (MPT), nanomaterials, nanofluids and nanostructured films. The Arrayed Microchannel Manufacturing Facility supports manufacturing research and development for the sustainable production of MPT including alpha and beta-prototyping. The Oregon Process Innovation Center (OPIC) for Solar Cell Manufacturing supports the development and scaling of cheaper, greener and safer nanomaterials, nanofluids and nanostructured thin films based on microreactor-assisted solution phase synthesis and deposition processes.
