Acquisition of Enhanced Instrumentation for Testing and Characterization of Polymeric Systems

该项目涉及购买用于聚合物系统实验研究的增强型仪器，包括本体聚合物、聚合物基质复合材料、薄膜、泡沫、凝胶和浆料。这套由TA Instruments，Inc.制造的三套互补仪器包括：动态机械分析仪DMA 2980流变仪AR 1000N介电分析仪DEA 2970。这些仪器在广泛的载荷和温度条件下提供无与伦比的高精度测量能力。这些仪器将加强蒙大拿州立大学正在进行的先进材料领域的基础研究。将这一工具整合到课程课程中将促进学生的学习，并将为研究生和本科生提供令人兴奋的研究机会。此外，该仪器将作为蒙大拿州立大学、其他大学、政府实验室和私营部门之间跨学科合作研究倡议的催化剂。*

0072423VinogradovThe project concerns acquisition of enhanced instrumentation for experimental studies of polymeric systems, including bulk polymers, polymer matrix composites, thin films, foams, gels, and pastes. The set of three complementary instruments, manufactured by the TA Instruments, Inc., comprises: Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer DMA 2980Rheometer AR 1000NDielectric Analyzer DEA 2970.These instruments provide unparalleled experimental capabilities in terms of high precision measurements over a broad range of loading and temperature conditions. The instruments will enhance the ongoing fundamental research at Montana State University in the area of advanced materials. Integration of this instrumentation into course curricula will enhance student learning and will provide exciting opportunities for graduate and undergraduate research. In addition, this instrumentation will serve as a catalyst for interdisciplinary collaborative research initiatives between Montana State University, other universities, government laboratories and private sector.***
