$40K NSF Award Funds Nanotechnology Partnership
Lansing Community College in partnership with Claytec, Inc., a Lansing area
nanotechnology startup, has been awarded a $40,000 National Science Foundation
Phase IICC grant. These funds will be used to provide fellowships to LCC faculty
and students that will enable them to work with Claytec as they develop their
products and commercialize their technology. Work under this grant will begin in
July 2009.
"This is an incredible opportunity for LCC faculty and students to gain
experience in the emerging nanotechnology industry," said LCC Science Department
Chair Thomas Deits. "In addition, the knowledge they acquire and share will
inspire their peers to consider nanotechnology as a source of future careers."
Claytec, Inc. has received an NSF Small Business Innovative Research grant to
develop their proprietary mesoporous nanoparticle technology. These new
nanomaterials can be used to save energy in the production of chemicals, to
strengthen materials for auto parts and other high value products, and in a
variety of other high-value applications.
