The 2D Polymer Research and Scalable Materials Facility at Rochester Institute of Technology, developed in collaboration with the Army Research Lab, is a dedicated pilot line for 2D Polymer Roll-to-Roll Integration and Scalable Manufacturing (2D-PRISM).
Built to advance two-dimensional polymer research, development, and high-rate production, the facility bridges the critical gap between laboratory discovery and commercial scale. Backed by federal investment, 2D-PRISM provides advanced roll-to-roll processing capabilities and serves as a collaborative hub where industry, academia, and government partners work together to accelerate next-generation material applications.
2D-PRISM is:
- A resource for industry/academic groups who have developed promising 2DP materials
- A facility used to design, develop, improve, and scale up 2DPs for manufacturing
- A place to work alongside RIT chemists and coating to scale benchtop chemistry
- A place to create prototype solid films via roll-to-roll coating to demonstrate feasibility for further investment prior to commercialization
- Intended to mitigate risk to enable commercial investment in new 2DP technologies.
