9730152 Moudgil该奖项为佛罗里达大学粒子科学和技术工程研究中心与北卡罗来纳州立大学先进材料和智能结构工程研究中心之间的工程研究中心(ERC)计划/科学技术卓越研究中心(CREST)计划伙伴关系提供资金。这一伙伴关系还将涉及与北卡罗来纳州立大学和橡树岭国家实验室的合作。这一合作伙伴关系的愿景和目标是为刀具材料开发新的颗粒合成和加工技术，以使其机械性能得到适当提高。具体地说，将探索新的方法，以制造出具有高强度、高韧性和能够在高速加工环境中操作的刀具。这一联合努力加强和整合了主要研究人员在工程颗粒合成、微观结构和机械性能表征、纳米颗粒科学和技术以及金属间材料加工领域的专业知识。

9730152 MOUDGIL This award provides funding for an Engineering Research Centers (ERC) Program/Centers for Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) Program Partnership between the Engineering Research Center for Particle Science and Technology at the University of Florida and the CREST Center for Advanced Materials and Smart Structures at NC A&T State University. This partnership will also involve collaboration with North Carolina State University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The vision and goal of this partnership are to develop novel particulate synthesis and processing techniques for cutting tools materials so that their mechanical properties can be suitably enhanced. Specifically, new methods will be explored which can result in the fabrication of cutting tools possessing high strength, high toughness and are capable of operating in high-speed machining environments. This joint effort enhances and integrates the expertise of the key research personnel in the areas of synthesis of engineered particulates, microstructural and mechanical property characterization, nanoparticle science and technology, and processing of intermetallic materials.
