Renewal Proposal for: Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Polymer Interfaces

摘要EEC-9612504 El-Aasser 该奖项提供资金，以支付第二个五年的NSF支持的工业/大学合作研究中心的聚合物界面在利哈伊大学。 该中心的使命是发展分子水平的理解的结构，动态，动力学和能量行为的聚合物和基板之间的界面区域。 研究计划分为三个互动主题：1）吸附/表征; 2）润湿/粘附; 3）机械行为。 这些主题的研究成果将适用于先进的工程塑料，涂料和复合材料。 目前，十家工业公司提供大部分资金，协助研究规划、选择和审查项目。

ABSTRACT EEC-9612504 El-Aasser This award provides funding to cover a second five years of NSF support for the Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Polymer Interfaces at Lehigh University. The Center's mission is directed to the development of molecular-level understanding of the structural, dynamic, kinetic and energetic behavior of the interphase region between polymers and substrates. The research program is organized in three interactive themes: 1) the adsorption/characterization; 2) the wetting/adhesion; and 3) mechanical behavior. Research results in these themes will be applicable to advanced engineering plastics, coatings, and composites. Currently ten industrial firms provide the bulk of funds assisting in research planning, selection, and review of projects.
