9975780GenzerThis award will provide partial support for the acquisition of: (i) a variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometer (VASE); (ii) a dynamic contact angle (DCA) system; and (iii) an interfacial rheometer (IFR). These instruments will provide important new capabilities for investigating adsorption of self-assembling organic molecules at solid/liquid and liquid/liquid interfaces and their organization in thin film geometries. Understanding the physics and chemistry of adsortive and organizational events at interfaces is essential in their subsequent technological application, ranging from biological modifiers to molecular semiconductors. This equipment will also play a major role in training both undergraduate and graduate students at the Department of Chemical Engineering at North Carolina State University in new hands-on laboratory courses in interfacial science. These new capabilities would provide crucial information for the growing interdisciplinary research program in polymer and surfactant interfacial science, electronic materials, and environmental science at North Carolina State University and enable it to remain strong and vital in the years ahead.%%%This equipment will significantly enhance capabilities to understand interface phenomena of organic molecules, and to train students in several interdisciplinary areas.***

9975780 Genzer该合同将为以下项目的采购提供部分支持：（i）可变角光谱椭偏仪（VASE）;（ii）动态接触角（DCA）系统;（iii）界面流变仪（IFR）。 这些仪器将为研究自组装有机分子在固/液和液/液界面的吸附及其在薄膜几何结构中的组织提供重要的新功能。 了解界面吸附和组织事件的物理和化学性质对于随后的技术应用至关重要，从生物改性剂到分子半导体。该设备还将在培训北卡罗来纳州州立大学化学工程系的本科生和研究生方面发挥重要作用，开设界面科学新的动手实验室课程。 这些新功能将为北卡罗来纳州州立大学在聚合物和表面活性剂界面科学、电子材料和环境科学方面不断发展的跨学科研究计划提供重要信息，并使其在未来几年保持强大和活力。%该设备将大大提高理解有机分子界面现象的能力，并在几个跨学科领域培训学生。
