"We've been pleased with the excellent training the Penn State Center for Dielectric Studies graduates have received. They have become significant contributors to our success." Carl L. Eggerding, AVX Corporation
CDS is housed in the Pennsylvania State University's 70,000 square foot Materials Research Laboratory, which is designed for the needs of interdisciplinary materials research. The laboratory maintains central facilities common to various types of research and is capable of conducting scanning electron microscopy, environmental scanning electron microscopy, state-of-the-art x-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, and wet chemical analysis. CDS and its members have access to other central facilities at the Pennsylvania State University, such as nanofabrication facility and the Materials Characterization Laboratory. The Materials Characterization Laboratory has state-of-the-art surface analysis equipment and high resolution electron microscopy.
