Brewer Science, Rolla, Mo., has signed a new cooperative agreement at Missouri State University’s Jordan Valley Innovation Center (JVIC) for developing and commercializing new nanotechnology applications to protect our men and women in the U.S. military.
This program is unique in that academia, industry, and government organizations will work in cooperation to use the Brewer Science sensor platform as a development case study to create new approaches, knowledge, and tools that address environmental, health, and safety concerns. In addition, this program will help develop regulatory requirements and decrease risk related to product liability. The outcome will be stronger decision-making tools that increase feasibility and decrease time to market of safe, effective, leading-edge technology products.
“For nearly 35 years, Brewer Science has been on the leading edge of creating technologies that impact lives in seen and unseen ways,” said Dr. Terry Brewer, president and founder of Brewer Science. “With this program we will be paving the way for the development and use of nanotechnologies that minimize environmental impact while maximizing benefits for U.S. military, industry, and consumers, including potential applications in sensor technology, biomedical monitoring, energy, displays, lighting, and lightweight ultra-strong composites.”
