US-India Cooperative Research: Evaluation & Characterization of Composite Materials Under Dynamic Loading Conditions, Award in Indian and US Currencies

9700869 RAO描述：该奖项是为了表彰美国-印度在基于新型氰基金属酸盐修饰电极的电化学传感器领域的研究合作。共同研究人员是普林斯顿大学的安德鲁·博卡斯利和泰米尔纳德邦中央电化学研究所(CERI)的普拉巴卡拉·拉奥。他们的研究将集中在铂(II)和钯(II)与氰基金属酸盐形成聚合结构的络合物的结构和反应活性上。这些材料形成水凝胶状结构，具有不同寻常的光化学和电化学性质。博卡斯利感兴趣的是这些材料的固态特性，而拉奥博士将研究这些系统潜在的传感器应用。这两个群体在电化学和电化学方法的使用方面都有很强的根基。这两个实验室现有的专门知识和设施是相辅相成的，应该通过合作加以加强。范围：这项研究将为目前由美国国家科学基金会化学部资助的国内研究增加一个国际组成部分。导致这一合作的讨论是经过深思熟虑、深思熟虑的，并指出了将产生互惠互利的扎实科学工作的潜力。CERI是中央政府的一个研究机构，由科学与工业研究委员会(CSIR)管理。CSIR实验室的使命是进行与国家优先事项和印度作为工业国发展相一致的研究。***

9700869 Rao Description: This award is for a US-Indo research collaboration in the field of electrochemical sensors based on new cyanometalate modified electrodes. The co-investigators are Andrew Bocarsly of Princeton University and Prabhakara Rao of the Central Electrochemical Research Institute (CERI) in Tamil Nadu. Their studies will focus on the structure and reactivity of platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes with cyanometallates that form polymeric structures. These materials form hydrogel-like structures with unusual photochemical and electrochemical properties. Bocarsly's interest is the solid-state properties of these materials, while Dr. Rao will pursue the potential sensor applications of these systems. Both groups are strongly grounded in electrochemistry and the use of electrochemical methods. The expertise and facilities available at these two laboratories are complementary and should be enhanced by the collaboration. Scope: This research will add an international component to domestic research that is currently funded by the NSF Division of Chemistry. The discussions leading to this collaboration have been thoughtful, deliberate and point to the potential that solid scientific work of mutual benefit will result. CERI is a research facility of the central government that is managed by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). The mission of CSIR laboratories is to conduct research consistent with national priorities and India's development as an industrial nation. ***
