Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Particulate Materials

该奖项在宾夕法尼亚州立大学建立了一个颗粒材料产学研合作研究中心（PMC）。该中心的横向整合的通用研究计划将有利于广泛的行业，其中颗粒生产，分散，处理，从粉末中制造成型产品是关键的加工和制造操作。该中心的研究领域包括：颗粒形成、研磨和分类、胶体分散、粉末储存、流动和处理、净形状形成以及压制和烧结系统。正在开发粉末表征实验室，为研究计划提供最先进的表征支持。该中心有11家公司参与，涉及矿产、食品、化肥和农药、大宗和特种化学品、制药、陶瓷和高科技先进材料等广泛的加工制造。行业咨询委员会（IAB）由每个参与公司的一名代表组成，为中心的研究项目提供指导。外部分析师协助IAB评估中心的研究成果。

9521227 Messing This award establishes an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Particulate Materials (PMC) at the Pennsylvania State University. The Center's horizontally-integrated generic research program will benefit a wide range of industries where particle production, dispersion, handling, fabrication of shaped products from powders are critical processing and manufacturing operations. The research area addressed by the Center include: Particulate Formation, Grinding and Classification, Colloidal Dispersions, Powder Storage, Flow and Handling, Net Shape Forming, and Press and Sinter Systems. A Powder Characterization Laboratory is being developed to provide state-of-the-art characterization support for the research program. Eleven companies involved in a wide range of processing and manufacturing of minerals, food, fertilizers and pesticides, bulk and specialty chemicals, pharmaceuticals, ceramics, and high technology advanced materials, etc., are participating in the Center. An Industry Advisory Board (IAB) consisting of one representative from each participating company provides guidance to the Center's research program. An outside Analyst assists the IAB in the evaluation of the Centers research accomplishments.
