A collaborative framework under the GOALI/FRG program is proposed to formalize a highly productive interaction between interdisciplinary researchers at Center for Thermal Spray Research (CTSR) SUNY Stony Brook and a group of industrial partners guided through a common linkage of a globally-used materials process technology (thermal spray - a multi-billion dollar surface engineering industry) but with a diversity of materials interests/applications. The principal intellectual goal is to explore key, unexplored microstructural and nanostructural features of TS-produced coatings and materials. This will no doubt lead to dramatically enhanced confidence (potentially for prime reliance), increased applicability and expanded deployment of the materials and process technologies into new territories. This program will provide a focal point allowing various industrial interests to converge through a framework of fundamental interdisciplinary science. In addition, it will offer opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students as well as K-12 outreach, working closely with industrial counterparts. Specific plans include (a) One-on-one interaction between graduate students and industrial collaborators, (b) Opportunities for students to present results at bi-annual industry review and via thesis committees, (c) intern opportunities at industrial sites and (d) Field trips to the SPLAT (SPraying, Learning And Testing) Center, a specially designed, 'kid-friendly' interactive research laboratory that will be the hub and heart of the outreach efforts and will offer thousands of young people and teachers a space of their own where they are welcome to explore and discover a wide range of exciting and highly relevant topics. Industrial partners will explore ways to help provide resources such as equipment, teaching modules and media to fortify science links to industry. Finally, the real-world relevance through our unique industry linked K-12 outreach will inspire a generation of children to pursue careers in physical sciences and engineering. The principal intellectual goal is to develop a fundamental understanding of the mechanics and physics of rapidly-quenched interfaces and defective structures, and properties resulting from their interaction. This represents a logical and critical next step not only in the elevation of TS coatings to 'prime reliant' status, but expansion of these materials into new, meso-scale functional devices (e.g. fuel cells, sensors). Activities will necessarily build on process science, novel characterization and analytical/numerical models achieved through a highly successful MRSEC program (near completion) and investigate both recognized and newly-identified fundamental materials issues of profound industrial importance. Proposed scientific efforts are tightly woven with the industrial partnership and also offer an ambitious and imaginative educational outreach concept aimed at inspiring future scientists and engineers into a seen-as-traditional, yet important, expanding and transforming materials discipline.

GOALI/FRG 计划下提出了一个协作框架，旨在使纽约州立大学石溪分校热喷涂研究中心 (CTSR) 的跨学科研究人员与一组工业合作伙伴之间形成高效的互动，通过全球使用的材料加工技术（热喷涂 - 价值数十亿美元的表面工程行业）的共同联系来指导，但具有多种材料兴趣/应用。 主要的智力目标是探索 TS 生产的涂层和材料的关键、未探索的微观结构和纳米结构特征。 毫无疑问，这将极大地增强信心（可能成为主要依赖），提高适用性，并将材料和工艺技术扩大到新领域。 该计划将提供一个焦点，使各种工业利益通过基础跨学科科学框架得以汇聚。 此外，它还将为研究生和本科生以及 K-12 外展活动提供机会，与业界同行密切合作。具体计划包括 (a) 研究生和工业合作者之间的一对一互动，(b) 学生有机会在两年一次的行业评审中和通过论文委员会展示成果，(c) 工业现场的实习机会，以及 (d) 实地考察 SPLAT（喷涂、学习和测试）中心，这是一个专门设计的“儿童友好型”互动研究实验室，将成为外展工作的中心和核心，将为数千名年轻人和 为教师提供一个属于自己的空间，欢迎他们探索和发现各种令人兴奋且高度相关的主题。 工业合作伙伴将探索如何帮助提供设备、教学模块和媒体等资源，以加强科学与工业的联系。 最后，通过我们独特的与行业相关的 K-12 推广活动，现实世界的相关性将激励一代儿童追求物理科学和工程职业。主要的智力目标是对快速淬火界面和缺陷结构的力学和物理学以及它们相互作用产生的特性有一个基本的理解。 这代表着合乎逻辑且关键的下一步，不仅将 TS 涂层提升到“主要依赖”状态，而且将这些材料扩展到新的中观尺寸功能设备（例如燃料电池、传感器）。 活动必须建立在通过非常成功的 MRSEC 计划（即将完成）实现的过程科学、新颖的表征和分析/数值模型的基础上，并研究具有深远工业重要性的公认的和新发现的基本材料问题。 拟议的科学努力与工业伙伴关系紧密结合，并提供了雄心勃勃且富有想象力的教育推广概念，旨在激励未来的科学家和工程师进入被视为传统但重要的、扩展和变革的材料学科。
