In order to advance the state of nanomanufacturing in the US, the NNN seeks to establish a broad base of key partnerships and affiliations. At the core of this are the flagship partners at the NSF Nanomanufacturing Centers, with recent established affiliations with NIST and DOE National Laboratories. 

NSF Nanomanufacturing Centers

The Center for Nanoscale Chemical-Electrical-Mechanical Manufacturing Systems (Nano-CEMMS), directed by Placid Ferriera and based at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, develops nanomanufacturing methods based on molecular gate-based printing, electrohydrodynamic writing, electrochemical patterning and microfluidic processing. Academic partners include CalTech and North Carolina A&T.

The Center for High Rate Nanomanufacturing (CHN), directed by Ahmed Busnaina and based at Northeastern University, is focused on developing tools and processes that enable high-rate/high-volume bottom-up, precise, parallel assembly of nanoelements and polymer nanostructures. CHN academic partners include UMass Lowell and University of New Hampshire.

The Center for Scalable and Integrated Nanomanufacturing (SINAM), directed by Xiang Zhang and based at the University of California Berkeley, develops methods for lithography below 20 nm and fabrication of 3D complex nanostructures. Academic partners include UCLA, UCSD, Stanford, and UNC Charlotte.

The Center for Hierarchical Manufacturing (CHM), directed by James Watkins and based at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, develops methods of guided self assembly, nanoimprint lithography and chemical functionalization for applications in nanoelectronics, energy, and biotechnology. CHM academic partners include Mount Holyoke College, University of Puerto Rico Río Piedras, Springfield Technical Community College, University of California Riverside, University of Indiana, and SUNY Binghamton.
