Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Applied Polymer Research (CAPRI): Biodegradable Microlayered Polymer Composite Systems

摘要9725616希尔特纳这一合作项目将两个工业/大学合作研究中心(I/UCRC)联合在一起，共同完成一个“TIE”项目--“生物可降解微层状聚合物复合材料系统”。参与这项为期两年的研究的两个中心是马萨诸塞大学洛厄尔分校的可生物降解聚合物I/UCRC和凯斯西储大学的应用聚合物I/UCRC。应用聚合物I/UCRC将使用其共挤出技术生成微米和纳米层状复合结构。它还将研究和表征为降解而生产的复合材料。可生物降解聚合物的I/UCRC将研究其土壤和堆肥呼吸测量测试所产生的降解动力学。在生物可降解聚合物I/UCRC上获得的结果将指导在I/UCRC上开发应用聚合物的复合材料结构。

ABSTRACT 9725616 HILTNER This collaboration project joins two Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRC) together in a "TIE" project "Biodegradable Microlayered Polymer Composite Systems." The two Centers involved in this two year study are the University of Massachusetts Lowell's I/UCRC for Biodegradable Polymers and the Case Western Reserve University's I/UCRC for Applied Polymers. The I/UCRC for Applied Polymers will generate micro- and nano-layered composite structures using its co-extrusion technology. It will also study and characterize the composites produced for degradation. The I/ UCRC for Biodegradable polymers will study the degradation of kinetics resulting from its soil and compost respirometry tests. The results obtained at the I/UCRC for Biodegradable Polymers will guide the development of composite structures at the I/UCRC for Applied Polymers.
