项目摘要

This award will catalyze a synergistic international collaboration to enable new international cooperative research on in situ molecular polymer composites with researchers from the University of Southern Mississippi and University of Lyon. The research will be jointly conducted in the European Synchrotron Radiation Facilities in Grenoble (near Lyon), providing opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students to enrich their research and education with international collaborative activities. The uniqueness of the research lies in the potential ability to structure the molecular polymer composites in situ using flow and deformation-induced orientation of the dispersed phosphate glass phase which offers a distinctive transformative alternative to conventional composites materials processing and use. The research will benefit from the individual expertise and the facilities available at the U.S. and the French collaborators' institutions, providing students with a critical and unique suite of complementary research capabilities.The research has far reaching societal benefits, potentially creating a new class of advanced materials that may find uses in a number of high-end applications including biomedical parts (e.g., rebuilding teeth and bones), optoelectronic components, and automotive parts. The educational broader impact of the international collaborative research is achieved via an exchange of broad-based research knowledge and opportunities for students at the graduate and undergraduate levels to experience collaborative research in highly advanced facilities focused on each area of expertise. The international experience will be extended to students at the individual institutions through presentations led by the participants and it will integrate research and education through enhancement of infrastructure for research & education, and international student exchanges, providing students with the capabilities for future international collaborative success.

该奖项将促进协同的国际合作，以与南密西西比大学和里昂大学的研究人员一起，以实现原位分子聚合物复合材料的新国际合作研究。该研究将在格勒诺布尔（里昂附近）的欧洲同步加速器辐射设施中共同进行，为研究生和本科生提供了通过国际协作活动来丰富他们的研究和教育的机会。研究的独特性在于使用流量和变形诱导的分散磷酸盐玻璃相的定位来构造分子聚合物复合材料的潜在能力，该方向为传统复合材料材料处理和使用提供了独特的变换替代方案。 The research will benefit from the individual expertise and the facilities available at the U.S. and the French collaborators' institutions, providing students with a critical and unique suite of complementary research capabilities.The research has far reaching societal benefits, potentially creating a new class of advanced materials that may find uses in a number of high-end applications including biomedical parts (e.g., rebuilding teeth and bones), optoelectronic components, and automotive parts.国际合作研究的教育更广泛的影响是通过为研究生和本科级别的学生提供基于广泛的研究知识和机会来实现的，以在高级设施中体验以每个专业知识领域的高级设施中的协作研究。国际经验将通过参与者领导的演讲扩展到各个机构的学生，并通过加强研究和教育基础设施以及国际学生交流来整合研究和教育，从而为学生提供未来国际协作成功的能力。
