This award supports international collaboration on electrospinning of novel polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers. Research into the electrospinning of polymer nanofibers and their applications in composites is currently being conducted by the investigator at the University of Nebraska. This collaboration with researchers at the Institute of Polymer Science at the University of Stellenbosh in South Africa brings complimentary expertise in the synthesis, modification and characterization of these PAN nanofibers. In addition, modeling and theoretical optimization of nanofiber assemblies for improved thermal stability and reduced residual stresses will be performed at the University of Natal-Durban, South Africa. Active participation between the research groups includes graduate student participation and student exchanges. It is expected that this will lead to advances in nanotechnology and to extended collaborations as this research moves forward.

该奖项支持新型聚丙烯腈（PAN）纳米纤维静电纺丝的国际合作。 内布拉斯加大学的研究人员目前正在研究聚合物纳米纤维的静电纺丝及其在复合材料中的应用。 与南非斯泰伦波什大学聚合物科学研究所的研究人员合作，为这些PAN纳米纤维的合成，改性和表征提供了补充专业知识。 此外，为提高热稳定性和减少残余应力，将在南非的纳塔尔-德班大学进行建模和理论优化。研究小组之间的积极参与包括研究生参与和学生交流。 预计这将导致纳米技术的进步，并扩大合作，因为这项研究向前推进。
