This award from the Instrumentation for Materials Research program in the Division of Materials Research will allow the University of Arizona to acquire a new Gel Permeation Chromatography instrument for research and education in the Department of Chemistry. The proposed GPC system will replace current outdated equipment and will be housed in the new Molecular Characterization Facility in the Department of Chemistry. This instrument will be used by students at the undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral levels to improve the quality and scope of integration of research and education into our curricula. Consisting of a separations module accompanied by Ultra-violet-Vis, refractive index, multi-angle laser light scattering, and viscometric detectors, this instrument will allow for more accurate and complete characterization of the organic and inorganic materials currently being synthesized by research groups within the Department. This award from the Instrumentation for Materials Research program in the Division of Materials Research will allow the University of Arizona to acquire a new Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) instrument for research and education. The instrument will be housed in the Department of Chemistry and will be used to characterize new polymeric materials, in particular measure their molecular weight, or size. The molecular weight of polymers is a critical factor in their strength, behavior, and ultimate performance. This instrument will allow for more accurate and complete characterization of the polymeric materials currently being developed by research groups within the Department of Chemistry for such emerging technologies as biological sensors, organic light-emitting diodes, and drug delivery systems. Students at the undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral levels will use the instrument. This will improve the quality and scope of student training, thus impacting the scientific workforce.

材料研究部材料研究计划仪器的这一奖项将使亚利桑那大学获得一种新的凝胶渗透色谱仪，用于化学系的研究和教育。 拟议的GPC系统将取代当前过时的设备，并将安装在化学系新的分子表征设施中。 该工具将用于本科生，研究生和博士后水平的学生，以提高研究和教育整合到我们的课程的质量和范围。该仪器由一个分离单元和紫外-维斯、折射率、多角度激光散射和粘度检测器组成，可更准确和全面地鉴定该部内研究小组目前正在合成的有机和无机材料。 材料研究部材料研究仪器项目的这一奖项将使亚利桑那大学获得一种新的凝胶渗透色谱（GPC）仪器用于研究和教育。该仪器将被安置在化学系，并将用于表征新的聚合物材料，特别是测量其分子量或大小。 聚合物的分子量是其强度、行为和最终性能的关键因素。 该仪器将允许更准确和完整的表征聚合物材料目前正在开发的化学系内的研究小组，如生物传感器，有机发光二极管和药物输送系统等新兴技术。本科生，研究生和博士后水平的学生将使用该仪器。这将提高学生培训的质量和范围，从而影响科学劳动力。
