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.
