U.S.-Brazil Cooperative Research: Properties of Submicroscopic Interfaces

9722458该奖项将支持罗格斯大学的Laurence S.Romsted博士和加州大学圣巴巴拉分校的Clifford A.Bunton博士前往巴西，与圣保罗大学的Iolanda Cuccovia博士和圣卡塔琳娜联邦大学的Dino Zanette博士合作研究亚微观界面的性质。这项研究将有助于更好地理解控制复杂多组分缔合胶体中化学反应活性和聚集稳定性的界面力。来自美国的两个研究小组将加入来自巴西的三个小组，以及来自双方的两组研究生，以探讨这一研究问题。许多行业依赖于有组织的系统及其界面的特性，包括：清洁、农产品、制药、化妆品、强化石油回收、染料和染色、太阳能储存和环境清理。***

9722458 Romsted This award will support Dr. Laurence S. Romsted of Rutgers University and Dr. Clifford A. Bunton of The University of California, Santa Barbara to go to Brazil to work with Dr. Iolanda Cuccovia at Universidade de Sao Paulo and Dr. Dino Zanette at Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina on the study of properties of submicroscopic interfaces. This research will lead to better understanding of the interfacial forces which control chemical reactivity and aggregate stability in complex multicomponent association colloids. Two research groups from the U.S. will join three groups from Brazil, along with two sets of graduate students from both sides to pursue this research problem. Many industries depend upon the properties of organized systems and their interfaces including: cleaning, agricultural products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, enhanced oil recovery, dyes and dyeing, solar energy storage, and environmental clean-up. ***
