- Abstract:
- This document is a report by Syntraguard, LLC, a high-tech Center for Interdisciplinary Research and Development, that is meant to illustrates a practical means of nanotechnology transfer from academia to industry through partnering. The core competency of Syntraguard is deposition of thin films of DLC (diamond- like carbon) on various client-provided substrates tailored to specific client needs. Because of their superlative characteristics in almost every area for which materials are considered, DLC films offer the best hope for the fabrication of various types of advanced materials and devices that meet the nation's and world's projected technology goals for the 21st Century. Continuous development and use of other competencies outside its core are needed to fulfil the broad mission of Syntraguad.
