Outside of our laboratory, we have facilities readily available to us in the Chemical Engineering Department including:

• Thermal Analysis
• Rheology
• Infrared Spectroscopy
• Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)
• Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)

Elsewhere at CCNY and CUNY ASRC, we have access to:

• X-ray Diffraction (XRD)
• Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)
• Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)
• Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy
• X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS)

We are are within walking distance to the new CUNY Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC) that has extensive shared-user facilities. Many other CUNY campuses also have smaller shared-user facilities accessible to us. We are also a short drive or LIRR away from Brookhaven National Laboratories where there are many shared user facilities available.
