This award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) program and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activity of the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences enables Tuskegee University (TU) to acquire a state-of-the-art Hysitron TI-980 Triboindenter to strengthen its research capability in the emerging areas of nanobio, self-healing materials and other structural and multifunctional materials. Particularly, the instrument will improve TU's research support infrastructure by giving TU a unique set of resources to pursue funding in the micro/nanomechanical aspects of material behavior. The instrument will be used by faculty and students at TU and those at collaborating partners, thereby encouraging synergistic research collaborations. In addition, a collection of course related projects and experiments will be made available to undergraduate and graduate students. Also, the addition of this facility will assist TU faculty in developing new proposals that will not only help understand the fundamental science of materials, but will also help TU to produce a talented and well qualified pool of African-American graduates with the necessary training to compete in a market for high technology applications. It is also anticipated that the fundamental studies delineated in this proposal will eventually result in advancing the nanobio materials applications in aerospace, automobile, biomedical and pharmaceutical areas. Results generated through these research projects will be disseminated through journal and conference publications for the benefit of the scientific community. Tuskegee University (TU) has, over the years with support from National Science Foundation (NSF) and other federal agencies, developed a program of research and education in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), which is not only very comprehensive but also very effective in recruiting, motivating, mentoring and graduating students with advanced degrees in MSE. The program has produced the largest number minority PhDs in MSE of which over 50 percent are female. Bulk properties of multiphase composite materials (nanoparticles, polymers, fibers) largely depend on the response on how individual phases perform and the load transfer at the interface of these phases which is of a length scale of less than 5 micrometers. Moreover, the structural scale of materials such as polymers, films, bone scaffolds, skin tissue etc. is in nanometers. Also, the polymer properties are highly time- temperature-frequency sensitive due to its inherent viscoelastic nature, and its performance varies significantly at small length scales. Therefore, nanoscale characterization of these materials is extremely critical in understanding the fundamental behavior. Automated state-of-the-art TI-980 TriboNanoindentation equipment is suited for characterizing properties at nano/micro scale due to its high spatial resolution and throughput. The specific studies that will be carried out using the proposed automated nanoindenter include: Biobased resin polymeric nanocomposites as a scaffold material for bone tissue engineering applications, Nanomechanics of skin in the transdermal delivery proteins and vaccines after microneedle treatment, Polymer nanocomposites for structural applications, Self-healing of composites using microcapsule bleeding concept, and Probing the interfacial adhesion of perovskite solar cells. To accomplish these broad range of research activities, the tribonanoindenter system is equipped with modules for dynamic mechanical analysis; extended travel stage and optical microscope with color camera; high load transducer; nanoscale electromechanical characterization; high-resolution mechanical property mapping; high-temperature stage, and ultra-low force mechanical characterization. This state-of-the art all-in-one equipment will serve as an excellent tool in developing science and technology of nanobio materials, while enhancing the research and education capabilities at Tuskegee University (TU).

该奖项来自主要研究仪器（MRI）项目和数学与物理科学委员会多学科活动办公室，使塔斯基吉大学（TU）能够获得最先进的Hysitron TI-980摩擦压头，以加强其在纳米生物、自修复材料和其他结构和多功能材料等新兴领域的研究能力。特别是，该仪器将通过为TU提供一套独特的资源来追求材料行为的微/纳米力学方面的资金，从而改善TU的研究支持基础设施。该仪器将由TU的教师和学生以及合作伙伴使用，从而鼓励协同研究合作。此外，还将为本科生和研究生提供一系列与课程相关的项目和实验。此外，该设施的增加将有助于工业大学的教师制定新的建议，这不仅有助于理解材料的基础科学，而且还将有助于工业大学培养一批有才华和合格的非裔美国人毕业生，他们受过必要的培训，可以在高科技应用市场上竞争。预计本提案所述的基础研究将最终推动纳米生物材料在航空航天、汽车、生物医学和制药领域的应用。通过这些研究项目产生的成果将通过期刊和会议出版物传播，以造福科学界。多年来，塔斯基吉大学（TU）在美国国家科学基金会（NSF）和其他联邦机构的支持下，开发了一项材料科学与工程（MSE）的研究和教育计划，该计划不仅非常全面，而且在招收，激励，指导和毕业具有MSE高级学位的学生方面非常有效。该项目培养了MSE中最多的少数民族博士，其中50%以上是女性。多相复合材料（纳米颗粒、聚合物、纤维）的体积性能在很大程度上取决于对各个相的响应以及这些相界面上的负载传递，其长度尺度小于5微米。此外，聚合物、薄膜、骨支架、皮肤组织等材料的结构尺度以纳米为单位。此外，由于其固有的粘弹性性质，聚合物的性能对时间-温度-频率高度敏感，并且在小长度尺度下其性能变化显著。因此，这些材料的纳米级表征对于理解其基本行为至关重要。自动化的最先进的TI-980 tribonanodinentation设备由于其高空间分辨率和吞吐量，适合表征纳米/微米尺度的特性。将使用该自动纳米压头进行的具体研究包括：生物基树脂聚合物纳米复合材料作为骨组织工程应用的支架材料，微针处理后透皮递送蛋白质和疫苗的皮肤纳米力学，用于结构应用的聚合物纳米复合材料，使用微胶囊出血概念的复合材料的自修复，以及探测钙钛矿太阳能电池的界面粘附。为了完成这些广泛的研究活动，摩擦压头系统配备了动态力学分析模块；加长旅行台和带彩色相机的光学显微镜；高负荷传感器；纳米机电表征；高分辨率力学性能制图；高温阶段，以及超低力力学表征。这种先进的一体化设备将成为发展纳米生物材料科学和技术的优秀工具，同时提高塔斯基吉大学（TU）的研究和教育能力。
