This proposal formally establishes a multi-university Center for Particulate and Surfactant Systems as part of NSF's Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) program. The University of Florida (the lead institution) and Columbia University will maintain research sites to collaborate on research. The proposed center's goal is to develop a knowledge base on the interactions between particulate systems and their relationship with the structure of different surfactants for enhanced performance in the pharmaceutical, chemical, microelectronic, and other nano-bio applications. The research thrust areas identified in the proposal include synthesis, characterization, processing and applications. The proposed activity involves a number of researchers from different disciplines from both universities. Much of the research will be carried out in collaboration with a number of industrial researchers. The proposed I/UCRC research program will contribute to a timely development and commercialization of targeted research of major societal significance. Work force development through education and advanced training of students will be a resource to industry and academe in this critical field of science and engineering and surfactant systems. In addition, recruitment of women and under-represented groups will be emphasized.

该提案正式建立了一个多大学的颗粒和表面活性剂系统中心，作为NSF工业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC）计划的一部分。佛罗里达大学（牵头机构）和哥伦比亚大学将维持研究地点，以便在研究方面进行合作。 该中心的目标是建立一个关于颗粒系统之间相互作用及其与不同表面活性剂结构之间关系的知识库，以提高制药，化学，微电子和其他纳米生物应用的性能。 建议中确定的研究重点领域包括合成、表征、加工和应用。 拟议的活动涉及两所大学不同学科的一些研究人员。 大部分研究将与一些工业研究人员合作进行。 拟议的I/UCRC研究计划将有助于及时开发和商业化具有重大社会意义的有针对性的研究。 通过教育和对学生的高级培训来发展劳动力，将成为科学和工程以及表面活性剂系统这一关键领域的工业和企业的资源。 此外，还将强调征聘妇女和任职人数不足的群体。
