This award will support continued collaborative research between Dr. Thomas O'Keefe, University of Missouri at Rolla and Dr. Rene Winand, Free University of Brussels, Belgium. A major area of current technical importance is the processing of high technology materials. The electronics, chemical, aerospace and automatic industries all rely heavily on such processing techniques. Surface coatings and interfacial phenomena continue to play a role in the material science related to these areas. In this project, Drs. O'Keefe and Winand will expand their previous research efforts on the topic of metal film processing on both conductive and non-conductive substrates. The areas of primary emphasis will be the fundamental principles of thin metal film production. The characterization and evaluation of the performance and properties of such metal coatings, as a function of deposition process parameters, will be included. The techniques used will include both electrolytic and RF plasma enhanced organometallic deposition. Specific work will also be carried out on mass transport measurements in aqueous metal deposition systems. This data is important to future high current density processes. The results of this joint work may lead improved understanding of factors affecting the properties of thin film. Dr. Winand is a leading European electrochemist specializing in electrodeposition of metals. Dr. O'Keefe is well known for his work on zinc deposition. This project will benefit from their combined expertise.

该奖项将支持密苏里大学罗拉分校的Thomas O‘Keefe博士和比利时布鲁塞尔自由大学的Rene Winand博士之间的持续合作研究。当前技术重要性的一个主要领域是高科技材料的加工。电子、化工、航空航天和自动化工业都严重依赖这种加工技术。表面涂层和界面现象继续在与这些领域相关的材料科学中发挥作用。在这个项目中，O‘Keefe博士和Winand博士将扩展他们之前在导电和非导电衬底上的金属薄膜加工主题的研究工作。主要强调的领域将是金属薄膜生产的基本原则。课程将包括这种金属涂层的性能和特性的表征和评估，作为沉积工艺参数的函数。使用的技术将包括电解和射频等离子体增强的有机金属沉积。还将开展关于水中金属沉积系统中质量传输测量的具体工作。这些数据对未来的高电流密度工艺非常重要。这项联合工作的结果可能有助于更好地理解影响薄膜性能的因素。维南德博士是欧洲领先的电化学学家，专门研究金属的电沉积。奥基夫博士以他在锌沉积方面的工作而闻名。这个项目将受益于他们的共同专长。
