PPG Industries Colloids, Polymers and Surfaces Laboratory
A unique part of the CPS Program is the PPG Industries CPS Laboratory, which is used for instruction and as a central facility for research. The lab is designed to acquaint students with experimental techniques used in the study and characterization of colloids, polymers, and surfaces. The hands-on laboratory experience offered in the 3000 sq. ft. facility is accomplished using 27 experiments and demonstrations. CPS lab courses are offered every semester and have an average enrollment of 25-30 students per semester.
The CPS Lab provides training for use of its facilities for about 40 students per year in addition to those formally enrolled in lab courses. These students include MS and PhD students, as well as undergraduates, working on independent research projects for most of the departments in the colleges of science and engineering at Carnegie Mellon.
