www.chem.tamu.edu/cims features information about the Center for Integrated Microchemical Systems.

The Center for Integrated Microchemical Systems (CIMS) was formed on 1 November, 2000 by Dr. Richard E. Ewing, Vice-President of Research at Texas A&M University. The CIMS has three principal objectives: 1) Stimulate interdisciplinary research at TAMU related to integrated chemical systems. 2) Provide centralized instrumentation facilities and other infrastructure to support materials science & engineering and CIMS research objectives. 3) Stimulate interactions between TAMU and other universities, government laboratories, and industry.

The CIMS has two specific research objectives: 1) Integrated microchemical systems based on microfluidic devices for analysis and synthesis. 2) biological, chemical, and engineering aspects of nanoscale materials.

Examples of specific research areas that could be impacted by these factors include: heterogeneous catalysis, biocatalysis, separation science, photochemistry, electrochemistry, chemical and bio-sensing, fuel cell and battery science and engineering, polymer science and engineering, and combinatorial chemistry.
