This research proposal is for the purchase of a thermal analysis system. The requested instrument is used to measure changes in the mass of a sample upon heating. The system will be used for research in chemistry, physics, forensics and materials science. This instrument will mainly serve the research efforts of the Easton, Forbes and Gaspari research groups at UOIT.    Dr. Easton's research group will use this instrument to measure thermal properties of a novel class of polymer electrolyte membranes (PEM) based upon inorganic-organic hybrid materials. These materials are candidates for high temperature PEM fuel cells. Of specific interest is the thermal stability and water retention at temperature above 100 degrees Celsius.    Dr. Gaspari's research group will use this instrument to investigate the thermal properties of amorphous carbon and silicon. These materials have potential applications in the fields of medical physics and photovoltaics.    Dr. Forbes research group will use this instrument to characterize the thermal degradation of skeletal remains. This research will aid in the development of this methodology as a potential forensic science technique that can assist with the dating of skeletal remains.    Members of the research groups also include graduate and undergraduate students. This instrument will be used in the training these students in thermal analysis methods, materials science and analytical techniques. Results obtained with this instrument may lead to the development of better/more economical materials for fuel cells and solar cells, as well as the enhancement of forensic methods.

本研究建议书用于购买热分析系统。所要求的仪器用于测量样品在加热时的质量变化。该系统将用于化学，物理，法医学和材料科学的研究。这一仪器将主要用于国际法研究所的伊斯顿、福布斯和加斯帕里研究小组的研究工作。 博士伊斯顿的研究小组将使用这种仪器来测量一种基于无机-有机杂化材料的新型聚合物电解质膜（PEM）的热性能。这些材料是高温PEM燃料电池的候选材料。特别感兴趣的是在高于100摄氏度的温度下的热稳定性和保水性。 博士加斯帕里的研究小组将利用这台仪器来研究无定形碳和硅的热性能。这些材料在医学物理学和光化学领域有潜在的应用。 博士福布斯研究小组将利用这种仪器来表征骨骼遗骸的热降解。这项研究将有助于发展这种方法，作为一种潜在的法医学技术，可以帮助骨骼遗骸的年代测定。 研究小组的成员还包括研究生和本科生。该仪器将用于培训这些学生的热分析方法，材料科学和分析技术。用该仪器获得的结果可能导致开发更好/更经济的燃料电池和太阳能电池材料，以及增强法医方法。
