About Nanomanufacturing

From the early days of textile manufacturing to the founding of the first and foremost plastics engineering department in the country, the University of Massachusetts Lowell has worked to turn ideas into reality -- to bridge the gap from research to commercialization.

Nanoscale inventions are mere curiosities until nanomanufacturing research develops the processes and tools that lead to commercial nanoproducts.  Here fundamental research is complemented by scientists and engineering with real-life manufacturing emphasis and expertise.
