The Stevens Institute of Technology received a $500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on February 1, 2021 to develop calcium-silicate-hydrate nacre with high flexural strength and fracture toughness. Funded under the NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), this five-year award will support research into the consecutive assembly-and-mineralization processed calcium-silicate-hydrate nacre. The Engineering program seeks to improve engineering research and education to foster innovation and economic strength. This award will advance those goals by developing advanced nacre-inspired materials with high strength and toughness through controlled mineralization processing techniques. Work will be conducted at the awardee's facility in Hoboken, New Jersey through January 31, 2026.
