U.S.-Turkey Cooperative Research on Dynamics in Polymeric Systems

9312285马蒂斯技术叙述：这个项目代表了阿克伦大学和土耳其伊斯坦布尔博加齐奇大学之间的合作研究成果。研究人员打算开发在三种环境下模拟聚合物的程序--包合物、体积密度的无定形聚合物和两嵌段共聚物胶束。这项研究可能被证明是有价值的，以深入了解影响柔性链动态的因素及其进入和离开胶束的交换速率。这项研究要解决的问题涉及到聚合物加工和聚合物结构-性能关系中的一系列实际问题。项目资金将使研究人员能够在两个校园内开发模拟，并在这项为期三年的研究过程中访问对方的实验室。这个材料研究项目通过使美国和土耳其的顶尖专家能够结合互补的人才并在共同感兴趣和能力很强的领域进行研究，实现了促进科学知识的计划目标。***

9312285 Mattice Technical Narrative: This project represents a collaborative research effort between the University of Akron and Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey. The investigators intend to develop procedures for the simulation of polymers in three environments -- inclusion complexes, the amorphous polymer at bulk density, and diblock copolymer micelles. This research may prove valuable in gaining insight into the factors that influence the dynamics of flexible chains and their rate of entry exchange into and out of micelles. The problems to be addressed in this research are relevant to a wide range of practical problems in polymer processing and polymer structure-property relations. Project funding will enable the researchers to develop simulations on both campuses and to visit each other's laboratory over the course of this three-year study. This project in materials research fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in the United States and Turkey to combine complementary talents and conduct research in areas of strong mutual interest and competence. ***
