9512258 Mitchell A comprehensive ensemble of thermal analysis equipment will be acquired in support of researchers in several departments at Tulane University. Thermo-gravimetric, thermo-mechanical , differential thermal , and dynamic mechanical analysis instrumentation will be used for interdisciplinary, advanced materials and polymer-related research. Characterization of materials such as catalysts, membranes, colloids, superconductors, and enzymatic polymers will be performed with this equipment. Many of theses materials are the products of advanced-materials processing research, including sol-gel and melt-processing technologies. In addition, some of the materials to be characterized have direct applications in the civilian infrastructure, such as calcia-alumina fibers for reinforcement of Portland cement. Still other materials will have applications in environmental remediation, for example, specialized separation membranes. The thermal analysis equipment has an educational component to it as well, as it will pay a key role in the implementation of an interdisciplinary materials laboratory course devoted to the synthesis, characterization, and processing of materials. %%% The thermal analysis instrumentation will impact a variety of research and education programs. It will be installed, maintained and operated by a coordinated instrumentation facility, ensuring that the equipment will achieve its maximum potential for university-wide use. ***

9512258米切尔将购买一套全面的热分析设备，以支持杜兰大学几个系的研究人员。热重、热机械、差热和动态机械分析仪器将用于跨学科、先进材料和聚合物相关研究。该设备将对催化剂、膜、胶体、超导体和酶聚合物等材料进行表征。这些材料中的许多都是先进材料加工研究的产品，包括溶胶-凝胶和熔融加工技术。此外，一些待表征的材料在民用基础设施中有直接应用，例如用于增强波特兰水泥的钙铝纤维。还有其他材料将在环境修复中应用，例如专门的分离膜。热分析设备也有教育成分，因为它将在实施致力于材料合成、表征和加工的跨学科材料实验室课程中发挥关键作用。热分析仪器将影响各种研究和教育项目。它将由一个协调的仪器设施安装、维护和操作，确保该设备将最大限度地发挥其在大学范围内使用的潜力。***
