Research Information Industry, State, and Federal agencies have supported Dr. Brown's research. Chromate replacement technology, bio composites, surface treatment for paint adhesion and cathodes for undersea batteries are Dr. Brown's current research projects. A new research area is using naturally occurring materials to manufacture composite by simple low cost technologies. To view more on these areas go to the Corrosion and Surfaces Laboratory link below Corrosion
