Polymer Engineering Center at University of Wisconsin-Madison

这笔规划拨款是在俄亥俄州立大学(OSU)高级聚合物和复合材料工程中心(CAPCE)建立多机构聚合物工程中心(PEC)的第一步。这一拟议的多机构I/UCRC是一项大学-行业-政府的合作倡议，旨在创造、整合、转移和应用聚合物工程和加工方面的知识。它的目的是提高与塑料行业有关的塑料部件或制造和传感设备的设计和制造公司的竞争力和有效性。威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的工程聚合物工业联盟(EPIC)为PEC教职员工及其工业合作者提供了一个正式的手段，以共同制定研究议程，共享专业知识和资源，验证研究成果，培养卓越的劳动力，并促进技术的双向转移。

This planning grant is the first step toward the setting up a multi-institutional Polymer Engineering Center (PEC) of the Center for Advanced Polymer and Composite Engineering (CAPCE) at the Ohio State University (OSU). This proposed multi-institutional I/UCRC is a university-industry-government collaborative initiative to create, integrate, transfer, and apply knowledge of polymer engineering and processing. It is aimed at enhancing the competitiveness and effectiveness of companies involved in design and manufacturing of plastic components or production of manufacturing and sensing equipment related to the plastics industry. The Engineering Polymer Industrial Consortium (EPIC) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison provides a formal means for the PEC faculty and its industrial collaborators to jointly set up a research agenda, share expertise and resources, validate research outcome, educate a preeminent workforce, and facilitate two-way transfer of technology.
