Introduction to Dielectric Spectroscopy for Polymer Analysisand Identification of Plastics for Recycling

9451871斯奈德这个项目通过在聚合物和材料科学实验室引入用于聚合物表征和分析的分子动力学研究，改善了本科化学工程教育。这一增强是通过使用四面体Audrey 380A介电光谱仪系统开发新的实验来实现的。这些实验让学生深入了解聚合物性质的分子基础，其中许多性质与链动力学和分子流动性密切相关。如果没有聚合物结构-性质关系的实践经验，学生就很难将课堂概念应用到先进材料的设计、开发和制造中。使用该设备进行实验，学生能够学习重要的问题，如先进复合材料的制造和塑料的回收利用。这些解决问题的实验室的成果将是在材料工程方面拥有相当经验的科学家和工程师。

9451871 Snyder This project is improving undergraduate chemical engineering education by introducing the investigation of molecular dynamics for the characterization and analysis of polymers in the polymer and materials science laboratories. This enhancement is being accomplished by developing new experiments using a Tetrahedron Audrey 380A Dielectric Spectrometer System. These experiments provide students with insight into the molecular basis for polymer properties, many of which are strongly linked to chain dynamics and molecular mobility. Without this hands-on experience in polymer structure-property relations, it is extremely difficult for the students to apply classroom concepts to the design, development and fabrication of advanced materials. Using this equipment to perform experiments, the students are able to study important problems such as the fabrication of advanced composites and the recycle of plastics. An outcome of these problem- solving laboratories will be scientists and engineers with considerable experience in materials engineering.
