Unitika is a Petrochemical company created in 1889 and which has grown especially into the textile business. Today, their business covers a wide range of economical areas, including financial activities. Its environmental division provides facilities for water treatment, incinerators, air pollution prevention facilities and heavy metal fixing agents. Their R D center conducts research to develop new business areas and products in four segments polymers, environment, advanced materials, and health. 

A panel of experts from academia and industry (Table 12.4-2) was assembled to provide the students with professional advice. The HKUST central facilities for Material Characterization and Preparation Facility (MCPF) and Advanced Engineering Material Facility (AEMF) and the laboratories of Department of Chemical Engineering, Department of Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management, Department of Mechanical Engineering and Advanced Technology Center play a pivotal role in the success of the project. Table 12.4-3 lists the equipment used by the students in this project.

To further university interactions, particularly with Sandia s closest neighbor, the University of New Mexico (UNM), Sandia supports the Advanced Materials Laboratory (AML), a UNM building situated next to the campus and housing about 25 Sandia staff, about a third of whom have joint appointments at UNM. The building is wired for both the Sandia and the UNM networks, is accessible to foreign national students, and is the center for materials collaborative research with UNM. Although the AML houses about 1 percent of Sandia s Ph.D. staff, about 11 percent of Sandia s refereed publications are from AML staff. The AML is filled with students and visiting faculty from both the United States and abroad.
