Advanced Materials Division Sample Clauses

Advanced Materials Division. The Advanced Materials Division (AMD) develops cost- effective metal-based materials through value-addition to South Africa’s most strategic metals and minerals (precious, ferrous and base) for use in the fields of metallurgy, biomedical, catalysis, nanotechnology and the environment. The division has strong interactions with local and international higher education institutions, and mainly derives its human capital pipeline from various DST and the National Research Foundation (NRF) human capital development programmes such as the Professional Development Programme (PDP)

Advanced Materials Division. The Advanced Materials Division (AMD) develops cost- effective metal-based materials through value-addition to South Africa’s most strategic metals and minerals (precious, ferrous and base) for use in the fields of metallurgy, biomedical, catalysis, nanotechnology and the environment. The division has strong interactions with local and international higher education institutions, and mainly derives its human capital pipeline from various DST and NRF human capital development programmes such as the Professional Development Programme (PDP) and the DST Internship programme. The division’s revenue stream primarily emanates from large government-funded national programmes, as well as from the provision of products and services (P&S) to local and international clients. The DST-funded programmes and projects hosted by the division are as follows:  Advanced Metals Initiative (AMI) – Under this DST initiative there are two programmes: – Ferrous Metals Development Network (FMDN) hosted by the Physical Metallurgy Group. The FMDN undertakes research into durable and cost- effective materials for broader industrial applications. – Precious Metals Development Network (PMDN) hosted by the Catalysis Group with an emphasis to undertake precious metals-based R&D, develop products and conduct pilot-plant work in collaboration with industry and end-users.  Centre of Competence in Hydrogen Catalysis (HySA/Catalysis) – The primary task of the HySA Catalysis Centre of Competence, which is jointly hosted by Mintek and the University of Cape Town (UCT), is to accelerate the establishment of a local value chain in the manufacturing of fuel cell catalysts, components and systems in collaboration with local and international industry partners. The emerging focus is to conduct technology demonstrations projects that emanate from the HySA programme’s R&D outcomes. This task is done in order to promote the deployment of hydrogen fuel cells in the sectors that have been identified as potential market leaders by government and the private sector. The sectors include among others, stationary, mobility, material handling and underground mining equipment.  DST/Mintek Nanotechnology Innovation Centre (NIC) – The centre focuses on the development of nanostructures and their usage as systems or tools for therapeutics, water treatment and diagnostic purposes (e.g. developing electrochemical sensors and optical diagnostic devices). The innovation emanating thereof is geared towards the transfe...
