The Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) at Stanford University supports an interdisciplinary program in the area of polymeric materials. The Center is entitled "Center on Polymer Interfaces and Macromolecular Assemblies". The MRSEC is a partnership between Stanford University, UC Davis, UC Berkeley and the IBM Almaden Research Laboratory.The research is organized into three interdisciplinary research groups (IRGs). Synthesis and Application of Nanostructured Materials (IRG 1) has as its mission to develop new methods to prepare functional macromolecules followed by self- and directed assembly of these molecules into nanoscopic structures. Potential applications are in nanotemplating, photovoltaic devices and novel catalytic systems. The techniques and materials developed in IRG1 have direct applications for single molecule studies in IRG 2 and polymer bilayer assemblies in IRG 3. Structure and Dynamics of Confined Systems (IRG 2) is concerned with the effect of confinement due to interfaces, entanglements, branching etc, on the structure and dynamics of molecules and macromolecular assemblies. IRG 3 on Functional Biomolecular Membranes investigates the fabrication of the interfaces between lipid membrane-countering surfaces and biological systems and the study of the dynamical properties of these interfaces. The ultimate goal of the IRG is to develop interfaces between hard and soft (functional) surfaces.The Center support undergraduate summer research activities in academic and industrial settings as well as in science museum projects. Plans are to increase the participation of physically disabled students. The REU activities will be extended to UC Berkeley and to the Institute of Polymers in Dresden, Germany. The K-12 programs for teachers and students includes partnerships with area schools in collaboration with the East Palo Alto Unified School District. New activities are planned together with the San Francisco Exploratorium and its Teacher Institute. The Center operates shared facilities at Stanford and UC Davis. These are accessible by CPIMA members as well as non-members. In addition, CPIMA members have access to a wide range of facilities at the IMB Almaden Research Center.The Center's participants include 26 faculty, 8 postdoctoral associates, 7 graduate students, and support for undergraduates and K-12 teachers. Professor Curtis W. Frank directs the MRSEC.

斯坦福大学的材料研究科学与工程中心（MRSEC）支持聚合物材料领域的跨学科项目。 该中心的名称为“聚合物界面和大分子组装中心”。 MRSEC是斯坦福大学、加州大学戴维斯分校、加州大学伯克利分校和IBM Almaden研究实验室之间的合作伙伴关系。该研究分为三个跨学科研究小组（IRG）。 纳米结构材料的合成和应用（IRG 1）的使命是开发新的方法来制备功能大分子，然后将这些分子自组装和定向组装成纳米级结构。 潜在的应用是在纳米模板，光伏器件和新型催化体系。 IRG 1开发的技术和材料直接应用于IRG 2的单分子研究和IRG 3的聚合物双层组装。受限系统的结构和动力学（IRG 2）关注由于界面，纠缠，分支等限制对分子和大分子组装体的结构和动力学的影响。 IRG 3功能生物分子膜研究脂质膜对抗表面和生物系统之间的界面的制造和这些界面的动力学特性的研究。 IRG的最终目标是开发硬和软（功能）表面之间的界面。该中心支持大学生在学术和工业环境以及科学博物馆项目中的夏季研究活动。 计划增加身体残疾学生的参与。 REU的活动将扩展到加州大学伯克利分校和德国德累斯顿的聚合物研究所。 为教师和学生提供的K-12计划包括与东帕洛阿尔托联合学区合作，与地区学校建立伙伴关系。 新的活动是与旧金山弗朗西斯科探索馆及其教师研究所一起计划的。 该中心在斯坦福大学和加州大学戴维斯分校共用设施。 CPIMA会员和非会员均可访问这些网站。 此外，CPIMA成员还可以使用IMB Almaden研究中心的各种设施。该中心的参与者包括26名教师，8名博士后助理，7名研究生，以及对本科生和K-12教师的支持。 Curtis W.弗兰克指挥MRSEC。
