0556272WarnerThis planning visit will allow Drs. John C. Warner, Amy Cannon, and Sofia Trakhtenberg, University of Massachusetts Lowell, to meet with their counterparts in Santa Fe, Argentina, led by Dr. Diana A. Estenoz, Instituto de Desarrollo Tecnologico para la Industria Quimica (INTEC), to develop and coordinate a collaborative research project on green chemistry, specifically working with thymine-based photopolymers.Synthetic methodologies and coating strategies have been developed that allow for the preparation of a wide variety of structural and morphological variations of thymine-containing polymers. The U.S. team is the only research group working with this family of polymers, where thymine residues are incorporated into water soluble styrene copolymers. The Argentine team has expertise in the mathematical modeling and characterization of polymeric systems. Collaboration between the two sides would provide a better mechanistic understanding of these photopolymer systems so as to allow the design of more efficient and specifically tailored materials. This visit will allow for a specific research plan to be developed, optimizing capacities at both sites.

0556272警告本次计划访视将允许约翰·C.华纳，艾米坎农，和索菲亚特拉赫滕贝格，马萨诸塞州洛厄尔大学，会见他们的同行在圣达菲，阿根廷，由博士戴安娜A。Estenoz，Instituto de Desarrollo Tecnologico帕拉la Industria Quimica（INTEC），以开发和协调一个关于绿色化学的合作研究项目，特别是与基于胸腺嘧啶的光聚合物合作。 美国研究小组是唯一一个研究这类聚合物的研究小组，其中胸腺嘧啶残基被掺入水溶性苯乙烯共聚物中。 阿根廷团队在聚合物系统的数学建模和表征方面拥有专业知识。 双方之间的合作将提供对这些光聚合物系统的更好的机械理解，以便设计更有效和更专门定制的材料。 这次访问将有助于制定具体的研究计划，优化两个地点的能力。
