About MPEC
Center Mission Statement
MPEC aims to exploit recent innovations and developments in microwave thechnology for quality and performance optimization of ceramics, powder metals, hard metals, intermetallics, composites, and other products leading to their commercialization.
Center Activities
- Conducting state of the art research in the science of the interaction of microwaves with matter
- Process and development studies on candidate materials for producing better performing ceramics, hard metal cermets, PIM parts, transparent ceramics, etc.
- Conduct research in the microwave synthesis of specialty ceramic powders, their processing and sintering
- Establish co-operative and collaborative research programs with industries on specific materials/development using microwaves
- Provide access to state-of-the-art equipment and technology in microwave processing to industy
- Render assistance in technology transfer and commercialization of microwave processing and products development to sponsors
- Collaborate with university, government and industrial laboratories in utilizing the radically new discovery of the reaction of matter with separate 2.45GHz magnetic and electric fields
