Funds are requested to purchase a high-resolution x-ray microtomography system for biomedical and biomaterials research. The PIs claim that this equipment would be the only such system in the Southeast and would be expected to stimulate numerous collaborations in the region. Within several years, the instrumentation would be expected to impact the training of 10 postdoctoral fellows, 50 graduate students, and 150 undergraduates. Some of the research areas that would markedly benefit from the new equipment include studies of fatigue crack repair, damage in metal and polymeric composites, bone structure and damage studies, and modeling of arteries and arterial plaque.

要求拨款购买用于生物医学和生物材料研究的高分辨率x射线微断层扫描系统。ppi声称，该设备将是东南地区唯一的此类系统，预计将刺激该地区的众多合作。在几年内，该仪器预计将影响10名博士后、50名研究生和150名本科生的培训。一些研究领域将明显受益于新设备，包括疲劳裂纹修复研究，金属和聚合物复合材料的损伤，骨结构和损伤研究，以及动脉和动脉斑块的建模。
