9512506 Griffin A suite of thermoanalytical equipment will be acquired and utilized by a group of scientists working in the Structure and Dynamics cluster of the Mississippi EPSCoR (Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research) Program. The instrumentation includes a differential scanning calorimeter with photocalorimeter accessory, a thermogravimetric analyzer, a dynamic mechanical analyzer, a polarized light thermal microscopy system, an infrared imaging camera, and controlled heating accessories for an existing infrared spectrometer. The instruments will be used for the thermal characterization of materials synthesized by the research group. Much of the research involves thermal studies of liquid crystals, such as thermodynamic and kinetic data of phase transitions, photocalorimetry, spectroscopic and mechanical behavior as a function of temperature. Other research involves diverse topics such as traveling front polymerization, structuring in semifluorinated alkanes, and amorphous organic glasses. %%% The proposed instrumentation will fill a critical need of a group of EPSCoR scientists, thus enhancing their ability to conduct first-line research which will take them to the next level of competitiveness. The instrumentation will also serve an active program in organic and polymeric materials that has traditionally involved a large number of undergraduate and underrepresented minority students. ***

小行星9512506 一套热分析设备将获得和使用的一组科学家在结构和动力学集群的密西西比EPSCoR（实验计划，以刺激竞争力的研究）计划。该仪器包括一个差示扫描量热仪与光热量计配件，热重分析仪，动态力学分析仪，偏振光热显微镜系统，红外成像相机，和现有的红外光谱仪的控制加热配件。这些仪器将用于研究小组合成材料的热特性。大部分研究涉及液晶的热研究，例如相变的热力学和动力学数据、光量热法、作为温度函数的光谱和机械行为。其他研究涉及不同的主题，如移动前端聚合，半氟化烷烃结构，和无定形有机玻璃。 拟议的仪器将满足一组EPSCoR科学家的关键需求，从而提高他们进行一线研究的能力，这将使他们进入下一个竞争水平。该仪器还将服务于有机和聚合物材料的积极计划，传统上涉及大量本科生和代表性不足的少数民族学生。 ***
