EPS-9977797SunThis project will establish an interdisciplinary research program on nanomaterials at Clemson University. The State of South Carolina has identified the development of advanced materials as a priority research area critical to the state's future economic growth. Nanomaterials research covers a broad area in science and technology. The project will establish a coherent interdisciplinary research team involving faculty groups from chemistry, chemical engineering, physics, and materials science and engineering. The research team this project will focus on development of methods for producing bulk quantities of organic and inorganic nanomaterials. They will use a new method for the preparation of nanoparticles based on a modification to the rapid expansion of supercritical fluid solutions (RESS) technique. Potential uses of nanomaterials as optical biosensors and potent optical limiters will be explored. In addition, investigations of nanocomposite materials will be conducted for novel magnetic properties and their potential applications in the development of high-efficiency photoconductors and photovoltaic devices. NSF funding will support the hiring and start-up costs of a new faculty member as well as providing research and educational opportunities for a number of graduate and undergraduate students.

该项目将在克莱姆森大学建立一个纳米材料的跨学科研究项目。南卡罗来纳州已经将先进材料的开发确定为对该州未来经济增长至关重要的优先研究领域。纳米材料的研究涵盖了科学技术的广泛领域。该项目将建立一个跨学科的研究团队，包括来自化学、化学工程、物理和材料科学与工程的教师团体。这个项目的研究团队将专注于开发生产大量有机和无机纳米材料的方法。他们将使用一种新的方法来制备纳米颗粒，该方法基于对超临界流体溶液快速膨胀（RESS）技术的改进。纳米材料作为光学生物传感器和有效的光学限制器的潜在用途将被探索。此外，还将研究纳米复合材料的新磁性及其在高效光电导体和光伏器件开发中的潜在应用。美国国家科学基金会的资金将支持新教员的雇用和启动费用，并为一些研究生和本科生提供研究和教育机会。
