9731680 EDIE This award established an Engineering Research Center (ERC) for Advanced Engineering Fibers and Films at Clemson University with Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a partner institution. The vision of the ERC is to provide an integrated environment for the system-oriented study of next generation fibers and films. The research program emphasizes the use of computation/visualization tools to overcome the barriers of experimental development, structure/property relationships, and control of structures. The research is organized under three thrust areas: Computer-based Product and Process Development, New Fiber and Film Products, and Advanced Fiber and Film Processes. The investigations will target liquid-crystalline systems, metallo-organic systems, and intractable polymer systems. The new processes will include supercritical solution processing, in-situ processing, and self-assembly processing. The ERC will produce software for new film and fiber formulation and processing design. The ERC's interdisciplinary, systems oriented education program will provide the students with a holistic education in fiber and film science and technology. The graduate education will include industrial residency for in-plant research experience. The first year industrial partnership will include seventeen companies. This award is the outcome of the Engineering Research Centers Competition under ERC Program Announcement, NSF 97-5. The funds for the first five years is recommended with a potential duration of ten years under a cooperative agreement.

小行星9731680 该奖项在克莱姆森大学与马萨诸塞州理工学院建立了先进工程纤维和薄膜工程研究中心（ERC）。 ERC的愿景是为下一代纤维和薄膜的系统导向研究提供一个集成环境。 该研究计划强调使用计算/可视化工具来克服实验开发，结构/性能关系和结构控制的障碍。 该研究分为三个重点领域：基于计算机的产品和工艺开发，新纤维和薄膜产品，先进纤维和薄膜工艺。 这些研究将针对液晶系统、金属有机系统和难处理的聚合物系统。 新工艺将包括超临界溶液加工、原位加工和自组装加工。 ERC将为新的薄膜和纤维配方和工艺设计开发软件。 ERC的跨学科，系统导向的教育计划将为学生提供纤维和薄膜科学与技术的整体教育。 研究生教育将包括工业居住在工厂的研究经验。 第一年的工业伙伴关系将包括17家公司。 该奖项是根据ERC计划公告，NSF 97-5工程研究中心竞争的结果。 根据合作协议，建议前五年的资金可能持续十年。
