Center for Nanocomposites and Multifunctional Materials

CNCMM, the Center for Nanocomposites and Multifunctional Materials is a Pittsburg State University campus-wide interdisciplinary research project. CNCMM is sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR). CNCMM provides critically needed mechanism for expertly coordinated efforts of basic, applied and innovative research in the areas of nanocomposites and multifunctional materials for naval structures and homeland security.

CNCMM provides a viable means of enhancing Kansas relatively new nanocomposites industry by establishing an excellent research and education center for nanocomposites and multifunctional materials with focus on naval structures and homeland security issues.This project will have a significant impact on Kansas economy mainly through its collaborations and partnerships with companies in Kansas or companies that have affiliations in Kansas, and also through its undergraduate/graduate nanocomposites educational and training initiatives.
