This Phase II proposal seeks to continue and expand the Center for Atomically Thin Multifunctional Coatings (ATOMIC), devoted to the design and development of advanced coatings based on two-dimensional (2D) materials. ATOMIC Phase II will synergistically integrate students, faculty, and staff from Pennsylvania State University, Rice University, and Boise State University to advance coating science across multiple technology readiness levels. Research performed at Rice will focus on multifunctional hexagonal boron nitride(hBN) coatings, photocatalytic coatings, printed nano-antennas, and advanced microscopy characterization of 2D materials. Because of the aligned partnership among academia, government, and industry, ATOMIC phase II will seeks to impact the education and training of students, particularly those who are underrepresented minorities. To encourage young people to pursue science-technology research degrees, the center will jointly conduct outreach activities and leverage ongoing NSF Engineering Research Centers (REU), Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) and Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) programs at Rice. ATOMIC will leverage the Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship to foster academic-industry relationships and enhance the transfer of knowledge from the Universities to the marketplace. Two-dimensional (2D) materials exhibit a variety of unique properties, different from bulk phases, that will enhance the performance of existing coating technologies. Phase I of ATOMIC laid the foundation for demonstrating these ultrathin materials with improved performance in corrosion resistance, extreme environmental tolerance, energy harvesting/storage, biocompatibility, and enhanced molecular sensitivity. ATOMIC Phase II plans to build on the foundation of scientific innovation in 2D materials at Penn State and Rice University and expand it into scalable 2D materials printing enabled by the addition of Boise State University. Penn State and Rice have successfully employed fundamental research programs in novel 2D materials, such as graphene, hBN, MoS2, and WS2; and Boise State has joined with experience in nanomaterial ink development and controlled precision printing such as inkjet, plasma jet, aerosol jet, and micro-dispensing. The joint research efforts chosen and designed by ATOMIC will concentrate on addressing key societal and industrial problems in areas of U.S. national interest that can be mitigated through advanced multifunctional coatings, such as infrastructure protection, internet of things (IoT) sensing, electronics, energy harvesting/storage, autonomous systems, and biological threat reduction.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

第二阶段的提案旨在继续和扩大原子薄多功能涂层中心（ATOMIC），致力于设计和开发基于二维（2D）材料的先进涂层。ATOMIC第二阶段将协同整合来自宾夕法尼亚州立大学、赖斯大学和博伊西州立大学的学生、教师和工作人员，以推动涂层科学跨越多个技术准备水平。在赖斯进行的研究将集中在多功能六方氮化硼（hBN）涂层，光催化涂层，印刷纳米天线和先进的显微镜表征的2D材料。由于学术界，政府和工业界之间的一致伙伴关系，ATOMIC第二阶段将寻求影响学生的教育和培训，特别是那些代表性不足的少数民族。为了鼓励年轻人攻读科学技术研究学位，该中心将联合开展外联活动，并利用正在进行的NSF工程研究中心（REU），本科生研究经验（REU）和教师研究经验（RET）计划。ATOMIC将利用水稻技术和创业联盟来促进学术与产业的关系，并加强知识从大学到市场的转移。二维（2D）材料表现出各种独特的性能，不同于体相，这将提高现有涂层技术的性能。ATOMIC的第一阶段为证明这些可吸收材料在耐腐蚀性、极端环境耐受性、能量收集/储存、生物相容性和增强的分子敏感性方面的性能改进奠定了基础。ATOMIC第二阶段计划建立在宾夕法尼亚州立大学和赖斯大学2D材料科学创新的基础上，并通过增加博伊西州立大学将其扩展到可扩展的2D材料打印。宾夕法尼亚州立大学和赖斯大学已经成功地在新型2D材料（如石墨烯、hBN、MoS 2和WS 2）方面开展了基础研究项目;博伊西州立大学也加入了该项目，并在纳米材料墨水开发和控制精密打印（如喷墨、等离子体喷射、气溶胶喷射和微点胶）方面积累了经验。ATOMIC选择和设计的联合研究工作将专注于解决美国国家利益领域的关键社会和工业问题，这些问题可以通过先进的多功能涂层来缓解，例如基础设施保护，物联网（IoT）传感，电子，能量收集/存储，自主系统，和减少生物威胁。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并且通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
