I/UCRC for Novel Design Concepts in Core/Shell Particles forToughening Engineering Plastics

9320055 Hiltner该奖项是为了表彰凯斯西储大学工业/大学应用聚合物合作研究中心和里海大学工业/大学工业/大学聚合物界面合作研究中心的联合研究成果。“用于工程塑料增韧的芯/壳颗粒的新设计概念”项目将由两个中心共同承担费用。EniChem美国公司也在加工和扩大用于测试的新材料方面做出了重大贡献。这个“TIE”项目正在研究一种新的增韧概念，该概念涉及合成由两种弹性体的IPN网络组成的新型胶乳颗粒，以受控的方式与基体塑料界面结合。这两个中心有合格的工作人员和设施，可以协同处理这个项目。项目经理建议凯斯西储大学在两年持续奖励的第一年获得25,000美元的奖励。

9320055 Hiltner This award is for a joint research effort between Case Western Reserve University's Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Applied Polymers and Lehigh University's Industry/University's Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Polymer Interfaces. The project "Novel Design Concepts in Core/Shell Particles for Toughening Engineering Plastics" is to be cost-shared by both Centers. EniChem America is also contributing a significant effort in processing and scale-up of the new materials for testing. This "TIE" project is studying a novel toughening concept which involves the synthesis of new rubber latex particles composed of an IPN network of two elastomers, inter-facially bonded in a controlled manner to the matrix plastics. The two I/UCRCs have the qualified staff and facilities to address this project synergistically. The Program Manager recommends Case Western Reserve University be awarded $25,000 for the first year of a two-year continuing award.
