Engineering Research Equipment Grant: In Situ Infrared Anaylsis of Reaction and Transport in Advanced Materials

在该方案中， 寻求。 这个系统将由一个五人小组使用 调查人员和他们的学生，以调查一个 一般加工领域的研究项目数目 先进的材料。 在下列领域的若干项目： 反应和运输过程将受益于 这个系统的可用性。 凝胶形成动力学 在凝胶点之前和之后将用FTIR研究 使用多甲基丙烯酸酯的反应作为模型实例。 研究陶瓷凝胶的动力学和结构 同样的。 GaAs表面的基本性质， Langmuir-Blodgett薄膜将被研究。 微电子 加工将被研究和水分的分布 将研究环氧网络中的浓度。 最后，蛋白质吸附在高分子生物材料将是 采用ATR-FTIR进行了研究。

In this proposal novel in situ infrared analysis system is sought. This system will be used by a group of five investigators and their students in order to investigate a number of research projects in the general area of processing of advanced materials. Several projects in the field of reaction and transport processes will benefit from the availability of this system. The kinetics of gel formation before and after the gelation point will be studied with FTIR using the reaction of multimethacrylates as a model example. The kinetics and structure of ceramic gels will be studied similarly. The fundamental properties of GaAs surfaces and Langmuir-Blodgett films will be investigated. Microelectronic processing will be studied and the distribution of moisture concentration in epoxy networks will be investigated. Finally, protein adsorption on polymeric biomaterial will be studied using ATR-FTIR.
