The US Department of Energy issued a call for research proposals from DOE funded National Laboratories for Concept Definition and Concept Development projects related to "Nanomanufacturing for Energy Efficiency."

Low voltage electron beam technology has many potential applications in this field.  Examples pulled directly from this proposal include:

Coatings and thin-films (e.g. low-friction, -drag, -wear, and corrosion-resistant; dispersion aids; thermal and energy applications)

Separations media (e.g. for chemicals, petroleum, pulp and paper, water purification, carbon management, and energy applications);

Nanocomposites (e.g. light weight or other functional materials for industrial, automotive, and energy applications)

Nanomanufacturing Process Development (e.g. scale up of nanomanufacturing)

AEB is always eager to collaborate on early stage research projects - either government, university, or industry funded.  Our Application Development Services and our Application Development Unit product are ideal solutions for evaluating the potential for low voltage electron beams in a lab scale research project.  Additionally, the scalability of our electron beam emitter technology enables a clear path to commercialization.
