This starter grant award to Kansas State University supports the research of Professor Daniel A. Higgins. The research focusses on the fundamental physical and chemical properties of mesostructured materials as studied by near-field scanning optical microscopy. Thin films of polymer-dispersed electrochromic materials including phthalocyanin-based materials are studied. Film morphology is characterized and its effects on local organization of the electrochromic molecules are elucidated. Since local properties of these inherently mesostructured films are dramatically different from their average properties, the research promises to provide a better understanding of these and other highly structured materials. From a technological perspective, polymer-dispersed materials are being developed for diverse applications in optics, display, detector, and data storage technologies, as well as in catalysis. The research contributes to the advancement of these technologies.

这个启动补助金奖给堪萨斯州立大学支持教授丹尼尔A。希金斯 研究重点是通过近场扫描光学显微镜研究介观结构材料的基本物理和化学性质。 研究了聚合物分散的酞菁类电致变色材料薄膜。 薄膜形态的特点和其对局部组织的电致变色分子的影响进行了阐述。 由于这些固有的介观结构薄膜的局部性质与其平均性质有很大不同，因此这项研究有望更好地了解这些和其他高度结构化的材料。 从技术的角度来看，聚合物分散材料正在开发用于光学，显示，检测器和数据存储技术以及催化的各种应用。 该研究有助于这些技术的进步。
