New lab operating at STAR Park
Wed, 04/01/2015
Texas State University’s Polymer and Advanced Materials Laboratory in the Science, Technology and Advanced Research (STAR) Park is now operational and working with industry partners.
The lab, which facilitates a broad range of polymer projects such as food packaging products, plastic film and storage, is equipped with state-of-the-art machinery that will be available to third-party corporations, students, faculty and staff as a fee-based service .
STAR Park is currently partnered with Quantum Materials Corporation, MicroPower and Systems and Materials Corporation , among others. With the introduction of the polymer and advanced materials lab, Tyler Nash, technical operations manager and research associate for STAR Park, said this provides the opportunity for greater collaboration with outside companies.
In addition to working with industry partners and aiding student research, the polymer and advanced materials laboratory technical staff provides training for those requesting permission to utilize the lab.
Training and appropriate qualifications are required before gaining access to the lab’s resources.
The lab is equipped with commercial injection molders, twin-screw extruders, impact testers, a gas barrier meter, a pelletizer and other equipment donated to, or purchased by the university.
The lab’s operational status comes after the Texas State University System Board of Regents authorized a 16,000-square-foot expansion of the STAR One research building. Expansions to the STAR One building will be complete by summer of 2015.
