This award from the Instrumentation for Materials Research program supports the University of Florida with the acquisition of of a gel permeation chromatography (GPC) instrument equipped with four detectors and high temperature capability to provide molecular weight information on a number of new polymers being developed. The projects span the range of modeling conventional polyolefins, to conjugated and electroactive polymers with especially low oxidation potentials, to examining the structure of highly organized core-shell polymers. The instrument is based on a Waters high temperature GPC, capable of making measurements at temperatures up to 150 degrees C, and possessing an array of detection systems (UV/Vis, refractive index, light scattering, and differential viscometry) assembled from three vendors: Waters Corporation, Wyatt Technology Corporation, and Viscotek Corporation. Several NSF initiated or funded research in polymers science will benefit from using the instrument. In addition 40-50 undergraduate students, graduate students (including two NSF Graduate Research Fellows) and postdocs present at any one time in the Butler Laboratory will attain training on this instrumentation. Researchers from other Departments in the Center for Macromolecular Science and Engineering (especially Materials Science) will use the facility. Further, Professor Duran leads an NSF/REU site with strong ties to France, and each of the faculty members directs REU students through this.%%%The research team that operates out of the Butler Polymer Research Laboratory at the University of Florida, will acquire instrumentation to measure the size (so called molecular weight) of the large polymeric molecules with which they work. The instrument is a gel permeation chromatography (GPC) instrument and will be fully equipped for modern research capability. The projects span studies of conventional polyolefins (e.g. polyethylene), to conjugated and electrically conducting polymers, to examining the structure of polymers for colloids. The instrument will be based on a Waters high temperature GPC possessing an array of detection systems assembled from three vendors: Waters Corporation, Wyatt Technology Corporation, and Viscotek Corporation. NSF initiated or funded research that will benefit from using the proposed instrument includes projects to make new plastics, polymers for drug release, polymers to make all-organic displays, and polymers for biological and chemical sensors. In addition 40-50 undergraduate students, graduate students (including two NSF Graduate Research Fellows) and postdocs present at any one time in the Butler Laboratory who will recieve training on this instrumentation. Researchers from other Departments in the Center for Macromolecular Science and Engineering (especially Materials Science) will use the facility. Further, Professor Duran leads an NSF/REU site with strong ties to France, and each of the faculty members directs REU students through this.

该奖项来自材料研究仪器计划，支持佛罗里达大学购买配备四个检测器和高温功能的凝胶渗透色谱 (GPC) 仪器，以提供正在开发的许多新聚合物的分子量信息。 这些项目涵盖了传统聚烯烃建模、氧化电位特别低的共轭和电活性聚合物、以及检查高度组织的核壳聚合物的结构等范围。 该仪器基于 Waters 高温 GPC，能够在高达 150 摄氏度的温度下进行测量，并拥有由三个供应商组装的一系列检测系统（UV/Vis、折射率、光散射和差示粘度测定法）：Waters Corporation、Wyatt Technology Corporation 和 Viscotek Corporation。 NSF 发起或资助的一些聚合物科学研究将受益于使用该仪器。此外，巴特勒实验室的 40-50 名本科生、研究生（包括两名 NSF 研究生研究员）和博士后将接受有关该仪器的培训。高分子科学与工程中心其他部门（特别是材料科学）的研究人员将使用该设施。此外，杜兰教授领导着一个与法国有着密切联系的 NSF/REU 网站，每位教职员工都通过该网站指导 REU 学生。%%%佛罗里达大学巴特勒聚合物研究实验室的研究团队将购买仪器来测量他们所使用的大聚合物分子的尺寸（所谓的分子量）。该仪器是凝胶渗透色谱（GPC）仪器，完全具备现代研究能力。 这些项目涵盖传统聚烯烃（例如聚乙烯）、共轭和导电聚合物的研究，以及检查胶体聚合物结构的研究。 该仪器将基于 Waters 高温 GPC，拥有由三个供应商组装的一系列检测系统：Waters Corporation、Wyatt Technology Corporation 和 Viscotek Corporation。 NSF 发起或资助的研究将受益于使用拟议的仪器，包括制造新塑料、用于药物释放的聚合物、制造全有机显示器的聚合物以及用于生物和化学传感器的聚合物的项目。此外，巴特勒实验室随时有 40-50 名本科生、研究生（包括两名 NSF 研究生研究员）和博士后，他们将接受有关该仪器的培训。高分子科学与工程中心其他部门（特别是材料科学）的研究人员将使用该设施。此外，杜兰教授领导着一个与法国有着密切联系的 NSF/REU 网站，每位教职员工都通过该网站指导 REU 学生。
