Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Polymer Interfaces

这一建议是为了建立一个 高分子产业大学合作研究中心 利哈伊大学的Interfaces。 该中心的重点是开发一种分子水平的 理解结构、动力、动能和能量 聚合物和聚合物之间的界面区域的特性 衬底 这将通过详细的 工业相关模型/聚合物基底的表征 使用激光散射，反气相色谱， 阻抗谱、XPS、拉曼、NMR、FTIR等。 来自航空航天、石油化工和 微电子工业将从这些研究中获益。 项目经理建议继续奖励5万美元 为期五年 在每12个月结束时，项目经理 和/或工程中心部主任将审查 中心在若干标准方面取得的进展，包括 （1）在多大程度上，大学 互动和合作正在发展; 2）在多大程度上， 支持基础正在扩大; 3）一个强大的 研究计划正在发展。 如果审查令人满意， 项目经理将建议支持下一阶段的 继续获奖

This proposal is for the establishment of an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Polymer Interfaces at Lehigh University. The focus of the Center is on developing a molecular level understanding of the structural, dynamic, kinetic, and energetic characteristics of the interphase region between a polymer and substrate. This will be accomplished through detailed characterization of industrially relevant model/polymer substrate systems using laser light scattering, inverse gas chromotography, impedance specroscopy, XPS, Raman, NMR, FTIR etc. Companies from the aerospace, petrochemical and microelectronic industries will profit from these studies. The Program Manager recommends a continuing award for $50,000 for a five-year period. Near the end of each 12 month period the Program Manager and/or the Director of the Engineering Centers Division will review the progress of the Center on a number of criteria, including the following: 1) the extent to which the university-industry interaction and collaboration is developing; 2) the extent to which the support base is expanding; 3) the extent to which a robust research program is developing. If the review is satisfactory, the Program Manager will recommend support of the next period of this continuing award.
