Acquisition of an Advanced Analytical Facility for Studies of Novel Materials and Environmental Interactions

这是一个为购买设备提供支持的奖项，用于进行环境条件的研究，当材料受到环境污染物造成的压力时，会导致材料的降解。研究的项目目标包括用于道路和建筑物建设的纤维增强塑料、导致工业锅炉和发电蒸汽发生器中腐蚀产物沉积的条件以及正在研究用于固定放射性废物的潜在用途的玻璃。该提案是根据NSF 93-172学术研究基础设施项目的仪器开发和采办招标提交的。该奖项的成果有望改善现代研究仪器的可及性，供该机构的教师用于教育学生和开展具有环境意义的重要主题的研究。＊＊＊

9413942 Barkatt This is an award to provide support for purchase of equipment to be used in conducting research on environmental conditions that result in degradation of materials when they are subjected to stress caused by environmental pollutants. Project targets for study include fiber-reinforced plastics that are used in road and building construction, conditions that result in the deposition of corrosion products in industrial boilers and power-producing steam generators, and glasses that are being studied for potential use in the immobilization of radioactive wastes. This proposal was submitted in response to the Instrumentation Development and Acquisition Solicitation, NSF 93-172, Academic Research Infrastructure Program. Results of this award are expected to improve the accessibility of modern research instrumentation for use by this institution's faculty in educating students and in conducting research on important topics of environmental significance. ***
