Radiation-Induced Reactions in Polymer Films

Boris Kidrich核科学研究所的B. Milosavljevic和圣母大学的J. Kerry Thomas在聚合物化学方面进行了为期三年的美国-南斯拉夫合作研究项目，目的是研究高能辐射对聚合物材料的影响。研究人员建议发展一种关于高能辐射形成的产物性质的理论。高能辐射工作将在鲍里斯·基德里奇研究所进行，高分子表征将由圣母大学在他们的脉冲激光设备上进行。这项利用辐射在高分子材料上制造微型电路的研究成果将在微电子领域产生重要影响。该项目得到了美国-南斯拉夫科学技术合作联合委员会的批准，并通过一个由美国和南斯拉夫政府对等捐款组成的联合基金得到支持。美国的捐款每年由国务院提供。没有涉及NSF基金。除了为美国科学家旅行提供的资金外，该奖项全部授予了这家南斯拉夫机构。

The objective of this three-year U.S.-Yugoslav cooperative research project in polymer chemistry between B. Milosavljevic of the Boris Kidrich Institute for Nuclear Science and J. Kerry Thomas of the University of Notre Dame is to investigate the effects of high energy radiation on polymer materials. The researchers propose to develop a theory on the nature of the products formed by high energy radiation. The high energy radiation work will be carried out at the Boris Kidrich Institute and polymer characterization will be handled by the University of Notre Dame on their pulsed laser facility. The results of this research on the use of radiation to create miniature circuits on polymer materials will have an important impact in the microelectronics area. This project was approved by the U.S.-Yugoslav Joint Board on Cooperation in Science and Technology and is supported through a joint fund consisting of matching contributions from the U.S. and Yugoslav governments. The U.S. contribution is provided annually by the Department of State. No NSF funds are involved. The award, except for funds for U.S. scientist travel, is made to the Yugoslav institution.
