In this project, funded by the Chemical Structure, Dynamics and Mechanisms Program of the Chemistry Division, the EPSCoR Office, and the Office of International Science and Engineering, Professors Jerzy Maselko and Jim Pantaleone of the University of Alaska at Anchorage will study the self-construction of complex chemical precipitation structures. These structures occur in relatively simple chemical systems such as Cu[II] - oxalate; however, preliminary experiments have revealed very unusual structures on the scale of millimeters to centimeters that are some of the most complex inorganic chemical structures known. The network of chemical and physical processes that controls the trajectory of structure formation will be explored and quantitatively described. This project will deepen our understanding of how complex structures form in biological systems and may also lead to technology for "growing" complex structures on scales of nanometers and above. In addition, Alaskan undergraduate students will reap cultural and academic benefits from research stays at a Polish university.

在这个项目中，由化学部，EPSCoR办公室和国际科学与工程办公室的化学结构，动力学和机制计划资助，阿拉斯加大学安克雷奇分校的Jerzy Maselko和Jim Pantaleone教授将研究复杂化学沉淀结构的自我构建。这些结构出现在相对简单的化学系统中，如Cu[II] -草酸盐;然而，初步实验已经揭示了毫米到厘米尺度上的非常不寻常的结构，这些结构是已知的最复杂的无机化学结构。控制结构形成轨迹的化学和物理过程的网络将被探索和定量描述。 该项目将加深我们对生物系统中复杂结构如何形成的理解，也可能导致在纳米及以上尺度上“生长”复杂结构的技术。此外，阿拉斯加的本科生将从波兰大学的研究中获得文化和学术上的好处。
