I/UCRC for "Novel Design Concepts in Core/Shell Particles for Toughening Engineering Plastics"

小行星9320056 该奖项是凯斯西储大学的工业/大学应用聚合物合作研究中心和利哈伊大学的工业/大学聚合物界面合作研究中心之间的联合研究成果。 “增韧工程塑料用核/壳粒子的新设计概念”项目将由两个中心分摊费用。 EniChem America还在加工和扩大新材料的测试规模方面做出了重大努力。 这个“TIE”项目正在研究一种新的增韧概念，它涉及合成由两种弹性体的IPN网络组成的新的橡胶胶乳颗粒，以可控的方式界面结合到基质塑料上。 这两个I/UCRC拥有合格的工作人员和设施，可以协同处理这一项目。 项目经理建议利哈伊大学在为期两年的连续奖励的第一年获得25，000美元。

9320056 El-Aasser This award is for a joint research effort between Case Western Reserve University's Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Applied Polymers and Lehigh University's Industry/University's Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Polymer Interfaces. The project "Novel Design Concepts in Core/Shell Particles for Toughening Engineering Plastics" is to be cost-shared by both Centers. EniChem America is also contributing a significant effort in processing and scale-up of the new materials for testing. This "TIE" project is studying a novel toughening concept which involves the synthesis of new rubber latex particles composed of an IPN network of two elastomers, inter-facially bonded in a controlled manner to the matrix plastics. The two I/UCRCs have the qualified staff and facilities to address this project synergistically. The Program Manager recommends Lehigh University be awarded $25,000 for the first year of a two-year continuing award.
