Improvement of Undergraduate Polymer Chemistry Laboratory Course

莫里斯·布朗学院化学系用新的实验和现代最先进的科学仪器升级了聚合物化学实验室课程。主要仪器是差示扫描量热仪(DSC)。差示扫描量热仪用于测定玻璃化转变温度、熔化温度和分解温度。此外，物理研究，如结晶度，相容性，固化动力学和相变，使用DSC和热重分析，在亚特兰大大学可用。这一升级使学生更好地为具有挑战性的工作场所做好准备。该机构正在将奖金与等额的资金相匹配。

The Chemistry Department at Morris Brown College has upgraded the Polymer Chemistry Laboratory course with new experiments and modern state-of-the-art scientific instrumentation. The primary instrument is a Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC). The DSC is used in determining glass transition temperatures, melting and decomposition temperatures. In addition, physical studies such as the degree of crystallinity, compatibility, cure kinetics, and phase changes are studied using the DSC in conjunction with the TGA available at the Atlanta University. This upgrading better prepares students for the challenging workplace. The institution is matching the award with an equal amount of funds.
