Acquisition of a Helium Liquefier for Condensed Matter Research and Education

乔治·华盛顿·卡弗基金会塔斯基吉研究所材料研究仪器项目授予的这一奖项是为了获得两台新仪器，一台动态机械分析仪（DMA）和一台热机械分析仪（TMA）。DMA和TMA将在塔斯基吉大学建立新的研究能力，并将在表征先进材料的结构-加工-性能关系方面非常有用，这是当前和未来研究的重点。聚合物和聚合物基复合材料主要研究在塔斯基吉。在新成立的材料博士学位课程中，一些学生将在他们的论文研究中使用这些仪器，另外八(8)名硕士和六(6)名化学、机械和化学工程本科学生也使用这些仪器。使用这些仪器不仅可以提高学生的研究质量，还可以让他们通过实际的“动手”经验加强课堂上学到的原理，并大大拓宽他们对聚合物和聚合物基复合材料物理特性的了解。参与这些项目的本科生将使用他们的研究来满足他们的高级项目要求。乔治·华盛顿·卡弗基金会塔斯基吉研究所材料研究仪器项目授予的这一奖项是为了获得两台新仪器，一台动态机械分析仪（DMA）和一台热机械分析仪（TMA）。DMA和TMA将在塔斯基吉大学建立新的研究能力，并将在表征先进材料的结构-加工-性能关系方面非常有用，这是当前和未来研究的重点。聚合物和聚合物基复合材料主要研究在塔斯基吉。在新成立的材料博士学位课程中，一些学生将在他们的论文研究中使用这些仪器，另外八(8)名硕士和六(6)名化学、机械和化学工程本科学生也使用这些仪器。使用这些仪器不仅可以提高学生的研究质量，还可以让他们通过实际的“动手”经验加强课堂上学到的原理，并大大拓宽他们对聚合物和聚合物基复合材料物理特性的了解。参与这些项目的本科生将使用他们的研究来满足他们的高级项目要求。

0076508DeanThis award from the Instrumentation for Materials Research program to Tuskegee Institute, George Washington Carver Foundation is for the acquisition of two new instruments, a Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA) and a Thermomechanical Analyzer(TMA). The DMA and TMA will establish new research capabilities at Tuskegee University and will be very useful in characterizing structure-processing- property relationships of advanced materials that are the focus of both current and future research. Polymers and polymer-based composites are primarily studied at Tuskegee. Several students in a newly established doctoral degree program in materials will benefit significantly from the use of these instruments in their dissertation research, with an additional eight (8) M.S. and six (6 ) undergraduate students in Chemistry, Mechanical and Chemical Engineering also using the instrumentation. Use of these instruments will not only enable students to enhance the quality of their research, but will also allow them to strengthen the principles learned in the classroom with actual "hands-on" experience and significantly broaden their exposure to physical characterization of polymers and polymer-based composites. Undergraduate students involved in these projects will use their research to satisfy their senior project requirements.This award from the Instrumentation for Materials Research program to Tuskegee Institute, George Washington Carver Foundation is for the acquisition of two new instruments, a Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA) and a Thermomechanical Analyzer(TMA).
