This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project aims to develop a novel chemistry to prepare metal fluorides by the direct reaction of metals with fluorocarbons. The new process is highly suited to the manufacture of: (1) wires for optical communications; (2) high-surface-area metal fluoride catalysts used in the generation of fluoropolymers; and, (3) optical thin films such as anti-reflective coatings. The final example represents an $8 billion market at this time. As compared with the deposition methods presently employed by industry, the chemistry proposed is inherently cheaper and faster; in addition it does not use the extremely hazardous reagents that are now required. The project aims to involve under-represented students as interns, and to support the retention of these and other graduates in Iowa by helping to build a high tech research base in the state.

这项小型企业技术转让（STTR）第一阶段项目旨在开发一种新的化学方法，通过金属与氟碳的直接反应制备金属氟化物。新工艺非常适合制造：(1)光通信电线；(2)用于含氟聚合物生成的高比表面积金属氟化催化剂；(3)光学薄膜，如抗反射涂层。最后一个例子代表了一个80亿美元的市场。与目前工业上使用的沉积方法相比，提出的化学方法本质上更便宜、更快；此外，它不使用现在需要的极其危险的试剂。该项目旨在让代表性不足的学生成为实习生，并通过帮助在爱荷华州建立一个高科技研究基地，支持这些学生和其他毕业生留在爱荷华州。
