0959951Gettens"This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)."This award will allow the Western New England College (WNEC) School of Engineering to acquire the equipment necessary to achieve a state-of-the art biomedical materials and mechanics research and training laboratory. The requested equipment will supplement existing equipment and serve a common goal of supporting current and pending biomedical materials and mechanics research and educational activities. The two major pieces of equipment requested are an electrodynamic test instrument (mechanical fatigue instrument) and a materials and mechanics. The equipment will also place the WNEC engineering faculty in a better position to pursue additional research opportunities and partnerships with local industry. The primary areas of research that will be directly supported by the equipment will be: (i) dynamic testing of tooth enamel/dentin for stress/fatigue corrosion susceptibility, (ii) screening of nano-scale topographies for applications in tissue engineering and implantable devices, (iii) pre-clinicalevaluation of novel prosthetic socket designs, and (iv) continued collaboration with the Santore lab at the University of Massachusetts for the development of nano-scale engineered surfaces.

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏和再投资法案》(Public Law 111-5)资助的。该奖项将允许新英格兰西部学院(WNEC)工程学院获得实现最先进的生物医学材料和力学研究和培训实验室所需的设备。所要求的设备将补充现有设备，并为支持现有和即将进行的生物医学材料和力学研究和教育活动的共同目标服务。所需的两个主要设备是电动测试仪器(机械疲劳仪器)和材料和机械。这些设备还将使WNEC工程学院处于更有利的地位，以寻求更多的研究机会并与当地行业建立合作伙伴关系。该设备将直接支持的主要研究领域是：(I)牙釉质/牙本质应力/疲劳腐蚀敏感性的动态测试；(Ii)组织工程和可植入设备中应用的纳米级形貌的筛选；(Iii)新型假体插座设计的临床前评估；以及(Iv)继续与马萨诸塞大学的桑托雷实验室合作开发纳米级工程表面。
