An International Collaboration between the Glass Industries of Germany and the U.S.

这个项目是一个国际合作的玻璃 产学合作研究 阿尔弗雷德大学玻璃研究中心和HVG-玻璃 德国的一家研究机构。 此项目实现了 产业/大学/政府合作研究计划 美国和德国。 最终目标是 联合努力是结合玻璃研究专长在阿尔弗雷德 与德国大学玻璃研究所合作进行 先进的玻璃加工研究，这将有利于行业 两个中心的成员。 阿尔弗雷德的研究项目 大学将研究脱碱作用对 碱硅酸盐玻璃的表面相关力学性质， 玻璃在受控气氛中的密度、润湿行为， 以及薄膜非晶膜的反射率测量。 德国的研究项目将研究小型 化学添加物、碱度和氧化态对结构的影响 和硅酸盐玻璃熔体的性质。 这些因素强烈 影响玻璃制造过程。 德国汽车联合会（DFG）将提供22万美元的资金， 每年为HVG的研究项目提供三年的资金。 的 阿尔弗雷德大学的研究项目将得到新的 约克州议会，三年每年33,000美元，能源部 （通过西屋萨凡纳河公司）195，000美元， 三年，工业/大学玻璃研究中心 在阿尔弗雷德大学，每年5万美元，为期三年。 这个项目是与卡罗尔甘茨博士分担费用， 国际中心合作项目项目经理， 国际项目部。 项目经理建议阿尔弗雷德大学被授予 第一年55，000美元，连续三年获奖。

This project is an international collaboration in glass research between the Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Glass Research at Alfred University and the HVG- a glass research institute in Germany. This project implements an Industry/University/Government Cooperative Research Program between the United States and Germany. The ultimate objective of this joint effort is to couple the glass research expertise at Alfred University with the glass research institute in Germany to conduct Advanced Glass Processing research which will benefit the industry members in both Centers. The research projects at Alfred University will investigate the effects of Dealkalization on Surface-Related Mechanical Properties of Alkali Silicate Glasses, the Denist, Wetting Behavior of Glass in Controlled Atmospheres, and the Reflectometry Measurement of Thin Film Amorphous Films. The research projects in Germany will examine the impact of small chemical additions, basicity and oxidation state on the structure and properties of silicate glass melts. These factors strongly influence the glassmaking process. The Deutsche Forshungs Gemeinschaft (DFG) will fund $220,000 per year for three years for the research projects at HVG. The research projects at Alfred University will be supported by the New York State Legislature at $33,000 per year for three years, DOE (through the Westinghouse Savannah River Co..) at $195,000 for three years, and the Industry/University Center for Glass Research at Alfred University at $50,000 per year for three years. This project is being cost shared with Dr. Carole Ganz, Program Manager of the International Centers Cooperative Program, Division of International Programs. The Program Manager recommends Alfred University be awarded $55,000 for the first year for a three year continuing award.
