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.

化学部的高级材料和加工计划将为Carbondale的伊利诺伊州南部大学提供这一职业奖。 在这个项目中，化学系的丹尼尔·代尔（Daniel Dyer）教授将研究由氢键形成的自组装单层的非中心对称有机薄膜的形成。 这些自组装的液晶聚合物具有受体和供体组的相反末端，可能在电流设备中具有应用。 研究的第二部分是通过自由基或阴离子聚合化在金或玻璃表面上定向偶极聚合物刷的沉积，以提供极性稳定性和对薄膜的加工性。这项研究的远程目标是研究结构 - 功能关系，以确定结合相互作用并控制有机薄膜中的自组装。 该计划的教育组成部分涉及开发研究生材料化学的新课程，并在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元件，压电性和电型的领域，以及用于用于商业兴趣的电磁设备的热力学稳定薄膜的开发。该奖项与工业合作伙伴关系的教育部分将为毕业和本科生提供跨学科的教育和工业培训机会。
