Laboratory for Extreme Mechanics & Additive Manufacturing
Zou's Research Group
Empowering Canada's future research and industrial development
Lead to social, health, environmental, and economic benefits for Canadians through material innovation, industrial celebration, and talent cultivation.
Longer Service Life and Higher Performance Potential
New materials are essential to increasing the service life of critical infrastructure and developing new materials with improved properties. Advanced materials, such as new alloys and coatings, will improve energy efficiency in gas turbines by allowing them to operate at higher temperatures. This reduces fuel use and CO₂ emissions, benefiting Canada's aviation and power generation sectors.
Advancing Clean Energy
The development of high-performance materials will support the deployment of small modular nuclear reactors, opening the door to flexible, clean nuclear energy across Canada.
Health Benefits for Aging Population
Biocompatible materials with long-term durability will enhance medical implants, such as hips and knees, improving quality of life and independence for Canada’s aging population.
Broad Innovation Potential
TIME’s material breakthroughs will enable innovations across multiple industries, significantly enhancing Canadians' quality of life through improved technology and sustainability.
Talent Development and Training
The proposed infrastructure will be unique in Canada, offering state-of-the-art facilities for training. TIME will support the development of 100 highly qualified personnel (HQP) over five years, preparing them to become global leaders in advanced materials research.
Ambitions
TIME will deliver major economic, environmental, health, and social benefits to Canadians over the mid-and long-terms.
