The Advanced Materials and Processing Program in the Chemistry Division support this CAREER award to Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. In this project, Professor Daniel Dyer of the Department of Chemistry will study the formation of noncentrosymmetric organic thin films from self-assembling monolayers formed by hydrogen bonding. These self assembled liquid crystal polymers with acceptor and donor groups at the opposite ends may have applications in electrooptic devices. The second part of the research will be the deposition of oriented dipole polymer brushes on gold or glass surfaces by free radical or anionic polymerization to provide polar stability and processability to thin films. The long-range goals of this research are to study structure-function relationships, to determine binding interactions and to control the self-assembly in organic thin films. The educational component of this program involves the development of a new course work in materials chemistry at graduate and undergraduate levels with summer internships in industrial laboratories. This research will impact the fields of polymer-based nonlinear optics, piezoelectricity and pyroelectricity, and the development of thermodynamically stable thin films for electrooptic devices of commercial interest. The educational component of the award with industrial partnership will provide interdisciplinary education and industrial training opportunities to graduate and undergraduate students.

化学系的先进材料和加工项目支持南伊利诺伊大学卡本代尔分校获得这一职业奖。 在这个项目中，化学系的Daniel Dyer教授将研究通过氢键形成的自组装单分子层形成非中心对称有机薄膜。 这些在两端具有受体和供体基团的自组装液晶聚合物可在电光器件中得到应用。 研究的第二部分将是通过自由基或阴离子聚合在金或玻璃表面沉积定向偶极聚合物刷，以提供薄膜的极性稳定性和可加工性。这项研究的长期目标是研究结构-功能关系，确定结合相互作用并控制有机薄膜中的自组装。 该计划的教育部分涉及研究生和本科生材料化学新课程的开发以及工业实验室的暑期实习。这项研究将影响基于聚合物的非线性光学、压电和热电领域，以及用于商业利益的电光器件的热力学稳定薄膜的开发。该奖项的教育部分与工业合作伙伴关系将为研究生和本科生提供跨学科教育和工业培训机会。
