Cytec will be a memberof the Critical Materials Institute, a new research consortium funded by the US Department of Energy.  The Critical Materials Institute, being led by Ames Laboratory, is chartered to establish an Energy Innovation Hub and develop solutions to the domestic shortages of rare earth metals and other materials critical for US energy security.  The new research centre will bring together leading researchers from academia, four Department of Energy national laboratories, as well as the private sector.

Mike Radossich, President, Cytec Specialty Chemicals stated “Cytec is very excited and honoured to be engaged and working with such an elite group of industry experts in the development of breakthrough technology to benefit industry and society by advancing the availability and cost of critical materials.”
