U.S.-Egypt Experiments And Simulations On Filler Reinforce- ment in Elastomers (Science in Developing Countries)

技术说明：这项美国-埃及合作研究项目涉及辛辛那提大学和开罗大学，涉及高分子化学的一般领域。项目资金将使来自埃及开罗大学的高素质研究员Mohammed a . Sharaf博士能够在辛辛那提大学James E. Mark博士的实验室度过大约两个月的时间。马克博士和他的两个研究小组将在开罗的沙拉夫博士的实验室进行不同时期的访问和工作。该合作研究项目将研究类橡胶弹性领域的理论方法，以阐明具有商业价值的弹性体中填充剂的增强作用。这个高分子化学项目通过使美国和埃及的顶尖专家在共同感兴趣和能力强的领域结合互补的人才和集中研究资源，实现了推进科学知识的计划目标。

Technical Narrative: This U.S.-Egypt collaborative research project involving the University of Cincinnati and Cairo University is in the general area of polymer chemistry. Project funding will enable Dr. Mohammed A. Sharaf, a highly qualified researcher from Cairo University, Egypt, to spend approximately two months in the laboratory of Dr. James E. Mark at the University of Cincinnati. Dr. Mark and two of his research team will visit and work at Dr. Sharaf's laboratory in Cairo for various periods of time. This collaborative research project will investigate theoretical approaches in the area of rubberlike elasticity in order to elucidate the reinforcing effects of fillers in elastomers of commercial interest. This project in polymer chemistry fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in the United States and Egypt to combine complementary talents and pool research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence.
