项目摘要

This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: Tennessee State University (TSU) is a comprehensive, land-grant historically black university located in Nashville, Tennessee, that was founded in 1912. The student enrollment exceeds 7,500 students, where most of the students are African American. Fisk University, founded in 1866, is the oldest institution of higher education in Nashville; it is also a historically black university and a long-time research and education partner of TSU. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) is a large public land-grant institution that ranks 13th nationally for earned doctorates, and is home to 29 top-ten ranked engineering degree programs, including the number two ranked undergraduate Materials Science and Engineering program, and the number-one ranked condensed matter physics graduate program. The TSU-Fisk-Illinois (TSUFI) PREM vision is to foster a long-term, collaborative research and education partnership with the Illinois Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (I-MRSEC) at UIUC, which has the research infrastructure and educational resources to significantly enhance recruitment, retention, and degree attainment of minority students through collaboration with TSU and Fisk. TSUFI students are developing cross-disciplinary collaborations and skills to address cutting-edge challenges in materials science, particularly related to developing new flexible sensor technology. TSUFI is addressing the PREM pathway by creating strategic research opportunities and exchanges, structured within a supportive framework of education, career preparation, and cross-institutional mentoring, that will 1) increase access of advanced materials facilities and training to underrepresented minority (URM) undergraduates; and 2) build recruitment pathways to increase the enrollment of URMs in materials-related graduate programs at TSU, Fisk, and UIUC, ultimately increasing the number of minority science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) graduates prepared for materials science careers in industry, government, and academia. TECHNICAL DETAILS: The TSUFI PREM research collaboration combines the strengths of TSU and Fisk in the areas of ferroelectric polymeric materials synthesis and sensory fabrication with the I-MRSEC expertise on active interfaces between highly deformable nanomaterials and magnetism. The interdisciplinary teams are uniquely focused on the combination of deformable, widely adaptive, highly functional ferro-, magneto- and optoelectronic materials in low dimensions interfaced with 2D materials to enable new flexible devices with enhanced sensing functionalities. The teams have identified two major thrust areas: 1) Low-dimensional (nanofibers and films) polymeric materials synthesis and characterization, and 2) Production and modeling of heterostructures with 2D materials. The combined fundamental research and technology efforts stands to produce emergent mechanical, electronic, and chemical behavior distinct from the individual constituents. The heterogeneous interface research and engineering are opening opportunities to explore a new regime of 1D, 2D, and 3D hybrid systems and architectures. Anticipated are findings that lead to breakthroughs in our understanding of deformable interfacial science which create new avenues for technology.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.

该奖项全部或部分根据2021年美国救援计划法案（公法117-2）资助。非技术描述：田纳西州州立大学（大津）是一所综合性的，赠地历史上的黑人大学，位于田纳西州纳什维尔，成立于1912年。学生人数超过7，500名，其中大部分学生是非洲裔美国人。菲斯克大学成立于1866年，是纳什维尔最古老的高等教育机构;它也是一所历史悠久的黑人大学，也是大津的长期研究和教育合作伙伴。伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校（UIUC）是一所大型公共赠地机构，在全国获得博士学位排名第13位，拥有29个排名前十的工程学位课程，包括排名第二的本科材料科学与工程课程，以及排名第一的凝聚态物理研究生课程。TSU-Fisk-Illinois（TSUFI）PREM的愿景是与UIUC的伊利诺伊州材料研究科学与工程中心（I-MRSEC）建立长期的合作研究和教育伙伴关系，该中心拥有研究基础设施和教育资源，通过与大津和菲斯克合作，显着提高少数民族学生的招聘，保留和学位获得。TSUFI的学生正在开发跨学科的合作和技能，以解决材料科学的前沿挑战，特别是与开发新的柔性传感器技术有关的挑战。TSUFI通过创造战略研究机会和交流来解决PREM途径，在教育，职业准备和跨机构指导的支持框架内构建，这将1）增加代表性不足的少数民族（URM）本科生获得先进材料设施和培训的机会;以及2）建立招聘途径，以增加大津大学、菲斯克大学和UIUC大学材料相关研究生课程的URM入学人数，最终增加少数民族科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）毕业生为工业，政府和学术界的材料科学职业做好准备。技术规格：TSUFI PREM研究合作将大津和菲斯克在铁电聚合物材料合成和传感器制造领域的优势与I-MRSEC在高度可变形纳米材料和磁性之间的活性界面方面的专业知识相结合。这些跨学科团队专注于将低维度的可变形、广泛适应性、高功能的铁、磁和光电材料与2D材料相结合，以实现具有增强传感功能的新型柔性器件。研究小组已经确定了两个主要的研究领域：1）低维（纳米纤维和薄膜）聚合物材料的合成和表征，以及2）用2D材料生产和建模异质结构。基础研究和技术努力相结合，将产生与单个成分不同的新兴机械，电子和化学行为。异构接口研究和工程为探索1D、2D和3D混合系统和架构的新机制提供了机会。预期的发现将导致我们对可变形界面科学的理解取得突破，从而为技术创造新的途径。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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。
