SNFC at IMRE
The facilities at IMRE include a large clean room, which was purpose-built for research work on a variety of materials as well as an impressive range of major equipment. The maintenance and operations of these IMRE facilities are managed by the SNFC group, and researchers from other organisations are encouraged to base relevant research projects here.
The SNFC staff are dedicated individuals who are trained and experienced in operating the specialised equipment. They are available to conduct trainings for new and inexperienced users. In addition, they provide consultancy and service work which involves running baseline processes and characterisations.
The range of baseline fabrication processes offered by SNFC is constantly being added to through the results of research projects across the SNFC user community.
SNFC staff are also available as team members for research projects.
