9907134wagener博士论文增强奖支持K.B. Wagener的研究生Jason Smith在德国美因茨的马克斯普朗克聚合物研究所与研究所所长Gerhard Wegner和Guenter Lieser教授一起工作三个月。研究将集中在分支聚乙烯使用步骤聚合程序。史密斯先生将收集模型聚合物的x射线和电子衍射数据。他的研究将在Wegner和Lieser教授的指导下进行，他将产生有史以来第一个精确分支聚乙烯的数据。

9907134WagenerThis dissertation-enhancement award supports K.B. Wagener's graduate student Jason Smith to spend three months at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz, Germany working with the Institute Director, Gerhard Wegner, and with professor Guenter Lieser. The research will focus on branching in polyethylene using step polymerization procedures. Mr. Smith will gather X-ray and electron diffraction data on model polymers. His research will be guided by professors Wegner and Lieser, and he will produce the first data of its kind ever generated for precisely branched polyethylene.
