This project from an EPSCoR state, involving interdisciplinary research in nanotechnology, nanodevices, materials science, chemistry, biomedical engineering, and related fields, aims at acquiring a high resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). The project investigates the properties of nanostructural materials and devices in an experimental setting. TEM will be used, among other research, to obtain images of membrane surface features with atomic resolution permitting the characterization of physical and chemical properties of a membrane surface in order to develop more efficient water treatment membranes and will also be used to study corrosion behavior for the study of long-terms behavior of steels under stress. The infrastructure will support projects such as: Nanostructural Materials and Devices, Colloidal Membrane Fouling, Materials Interface and Nanomaterials Research, Long-Term Stability Rock and Steel Sets - Corrosion Aspects, Hydrogen and Nitrogen Interactions of Zr2Fe Hydrides, Imaging and Solidification Interfaces, Total Synthesis of Benzenoid Nanostructures, Sensitized Microstructures During Aging in Alloy 22 for Nuclear Waste Package Containers, Micro / Nano Polymer Gels, Grain Growth Study of Metal Oxide Nanomaterials for Catalysts Applications, and Nanostructures Ti3SiC2/SiC composites obtained by Field-Assisted Combustion Synthesis.Educational activities with graduate and undergraduate students, including three courses utilizing the microscope for training and teaching, are planned. Moreover, research collaboration with the private sector is envisioned.

该项目来自EPSCoR州，涉及纳米技术，纳米器件，材料科学，化学，生物医学工程及相关领域的跨学科研究，旨在获得高分辨率透射电子显微镜（TEM）。该项目在实验环境中研究纳米结构材料和器件的特性。在其他研究中，TEM将用于获得具有原子分辨率的膜表面特征的图像，从而可以表征膜表面的物理和化学性质，以开发更有效的水处理膜，并且还将用于研究腐蚀行为，以研究钢在应力下的长期行为。该基础设施将支持以下项目：纳米结构材料和器件，胶膜污染，材料界面和纳米材料研究，长期稳定性岩石和钢套-腐蚀方面，Zr 2Fe氢化物的氢和氮相互作用，成像和凝固界面，苯型纳米结构的全合成，核废物包装容器用合金22老化过程中的敏化微观结构，微/纳米聚合物凝胶、催化剂应用的金属氧化物纳米材料的晶粒生长研究、通过场辅助燃烧合成获得的纳米结构Ti 3SiC 2/SiC复合材料。计划与研究生和本科生开展教育活动，包括利用显微镜进行培训和教学的三门课程。此外，还设想与私营部门开展研究合作。
