ABSTRACTPROPOSAL NO.: CTS-0347381PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS: V. GANESANINSTITUTION: UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, AUSTINCAREER: A MULTISCALE APPROACH FOR THE FLOW BEHAVIOR OF INHOMOGENEOUS MULTICOMPONENT POLYMERIC MATERIALSThis is a multiscale approach, involving the synergistic application of Brownian Dynamics-based simulation along with nonequilibrium thermodynamics and kinetic theories to develop macroscale models that can be used to predict the rheology and response of inhomogeneous and self-assembled polymers. The long-term goal of this project envisions the application of the macroscale dynamical models to develop a framework for the design of advanced polymeric materials. Technological advances in the context of electronic storage devices, and the development of composite polymeric materials with novel properties, depend critically on the design and production of inhomogeneous multicomponent polymers. The educational plan is well integrated with research and focuses on course development and outreach. A broader impact goal is to enhance diversity by involving undergraduate researchers recruited through the Texas Research Experience Program, which targets students from under-represented and minority groups. Broad impacts of the work include an on-going collaboration with the office of Equal Opportunity in Engineering program (one of the most comprehensive outreach programs at UT Austin aimed at diversifying the student body) will target students from under-represented and minority groups

简介：CTS-0347381 PRINCIPIPAL研究者：V.GANESANINSTUTION：德克萨斯大学，AUSTINCAREER：一种用于非均质多组分聚合物材料流动行为的多尺度方法这是一种多尺度方法，涉及基于布朗动力学的模拟与非平衡热力学和动力学理论的协同应用，以开发可用于预测非均质和自组装聚合物的流变性和响应的宏观模型。该项目的长期目标是应用宏观动力学模型来开发先进聚合物材料的设计框架。电子存储设备方面的技术进步，以及具有新性能的复合聚合物材料的开发，关键取决于非均质多组分聚合物的设计和生产。教育计划与研究很好地结合在一起，重点放在课程开发和推广上。一个更广泛的影响目标是让德克萨斯研究体验项目招募的本科生研究人员参与进来，以提高多样性，该项目的目标是来自代表性不足和少数族裔群体的学生。这项工作的广泛影响包括与工程平等机会办公室正在进行的合作计划(德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校最全面的外展计划之一，旨在使学生群体多样化)将针对代表不足的少数群体的学生
