9808677FrankThis Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) is a collaboration between Stanford University, the University of California at Davis and IBM Almaden Research Center. The MRSEC focuses on the interface science of polymeric and surface-active molecules that will enable advances in information technologies. The Center also provides seed funding for new opportunities in materials research. The Center supports regional, national and international outreach efforts that impact education at all levels, including summer research experiences for undergraduates, international exchanges of students and faculty, development of instructional materials for high school students and materials science education of the general public through a regional museum. The MRSEC also supports shared experimental facilities that are accessible to center participants and to outside users, and broad industrial outreach efforts.Research in this Center, which has been named the Center on Polymer Interfaces and Macromolecular Assemblies, is organized into two interdisciplinary research groups. One group investigates the structure, dynamics and properties of polymers confined to surfaces and interfaces with the goal of understanding lubrication and adhesion processes at the molecular level. A second group emphasizes the development of thin film polymeric membranes as biomolecular materials for sensor and diagnostic applications. Participants in the Center currently include 17 senior investigators, 11 postdoctoral associates, 13 graduate students, 10 undergraduates, and 3 technicians and other support personnel. Professor Curtis W. Frank directs the MRSEC.

这个材料研究科学与工程中心（MRSEC）是由斯坦福大学、加州大学戴维斯分校和IBM阿尔马登研究中心合作建立的。MRSEC专注于聚合物和表面活性分子的界面科学，这将使信息技术取得进步。该中心还为材料研究的新机会提供种子资金。该中心支持影响各级教育的地区、国家和国际外展工作，包括本科生夏季研究经验、学生和教师的国际交流、高中生教学材料的开发以及通过地区博物馆向公众进行材料科学教育。MRSEC还支持对中心参与者和外部用户开放的共享实验设施，以及广泛的工业推广工作。该中心的研究被命名为聚合物界面和大分子组装中心，分为两个跨学科研究小组。一组研究局限于表面和界面的聚合物的结构、动力学和性能，目的是在分子水平上理解润滑和粘附过程。第二组强调薄膜聚合物膜作为传感器和诊断应用的生物分子材料的发展。中心现有高级研究员17人，博士后11人，研究生13人，本科生10人，技术人员及其他辅助人员3人。柯蒂斯·w·弗兰克教授负责MRSEC。
