This Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site focuses on development of lightweight, energy efficient polymer composite materials to be used in next-generation aerospace, marine and defense components. Ten students will be recruited annually for a 10-week summer research experience at the School of Polymers and High Performance Materials. The proposed research activities can be broadly classified into three general areas: (1) Synthesis of high performance polymer composite matrices, (2) Mechanical testing and performance of composites, and (3) Addition of fillers or nano-additives for material property enhancement.There is a commercial and national need to develop high performance, lightweight materials for increased fuel efficiency and corrosion resistance. This REU Site provides REU participants access to state-of-the-art facilities to pursue fundamental research in critical areas. Undergraduate students participate in a comprehensive research and professional development program that encourages them to pursue scientific and engineering careers.This award is co-funded by the NSF Divisions of Materials Research and of Chemistry.

本科生（REU）的研究经验网站专注于开发轻质，节能的聚合物复合材料，用于下一代航空航天，海洋和国防部件。每年将招募10名学生在聚合物与高性能材料学院进行为期10周的夏季研究体验。建议的研究活动可以大致分为三个一般领域：（1）高性能聚合物复合材料基体的合成，（2）复合材料的机械测试和性能，以及（3）添加填料或纳米添加剂以增强材料性能。商业和国家需要开发高性能，轻质材料，以提高燃料效率和耐腐蚀性。这个REU网站为REU参与者提供最先进的设施，以进行关键领域的基础研究。本科生参加全面的研究和专业发展计划，鼓励他们追求科学和工程事业。该奖项由NSF材料研究和化学部门共同资助。
