U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Theory of the Static and Dynamic Properties of Polysoap Macromolecules

这项为期三年的材料理论美法合作研究奖由伊利诺伊大学的Paul Goldbart和法国国家科学研究中心表面化学研究所的Avraham Halperin参与。该奖项为戈德巴特博士提供旅行支持和生活费用。该研究的目的是发展一种包含柔性线性大分子的系统的综合理论，其中两亲性单体已共价结合。这种组合产生了一种新的材料，称为聚皂。该项目利用了法国在材料理论方面的专业知识。所研究的材料是石油回收和纸张涂层的核心。

This three-year award for U.S.-France cooperative research in materials theory involves Paul Goldbart of the University of Illinois and Avraham Halperin of the Institute for Surface Chemistry of the French National Center for Scientific Research in Mulhouse, France. The award provides travel support and living expenses for Dr. Goldbart. The objective of the research is to develop a comprehensive theory of systems containing flexible linear macromolecules into which amphiphilic monomers have been covalently incorporated. This combination leads to a new class of materials, known as polysoaps. The project takes advantage of French expertise in materials theory. The materials under study are central in oil recovery and paper-coating.
