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

9312285 Mattice技术叙述：该项目代表了阿克伦大学和土耳其伊斯坦布尔Bogazici大学之间的合作研究成果。研究人员打算开发三种环境下聚合物的模拟程序——包合物、体积密度下的无定形聚合物和双嵌段共聚物胶束。这项研究可能对深入了解影响柔性链动力学及其进出胶束的进入交换速率的因素有价值。本研究要解决的问题涉及聚合物加工和聚合物结构-性能关系中的广泛实际问题。项目资金将使研究人员能够在这三年的研究过程中在两个校区开发模拟，并参观彼此的实验室。这个材料研究项目实现了推进科学知识的计划目标，使美国和土耳其的顶尖专家能够结合互补的人才，在共同感兴趣和有能力的领域进行研究。* * *

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. ***
