An Operating Center Proposal for Establishing an I/UCR Center for Advanced Polymer and Composite Engineering

聚合物工业是美国的主要产业之一，并在持续增长。聚合物复合材料的研究是一个重要的增长领域，需要研究来保持美国在全球市场的领先地位。一项计划拨款（EEC-9612323）授予俄亥俄州立大学，以确定一个先进聚合物和复合材料工程产学研合作研究中心是否可行。作为计划奖励的结果，俄亥俄州立大学已经筹集了296,000美元的会员基金和另外大约300,000美元的“实物”支持，用于工业/大学高级聚合物和组合工程研究中心。该中心的研究议程将涉及先进塑料加工、恒温聚合物和复合材料制造、通过整体附件连接塑料部件以及设计和模具制造等项目。该奖项的费用由材料加工和制造项目主任J. Lee博士分担。

ABSTRACT EEC - 9726048 LEE The polymer industry is one of the major industries of the U.S. and it continues to grow. Research in polymer composites is an important growing sector which needs research to maintain the U.S. lead in the global market. A planning grant (EEC-9612323) was awarded to Ohio State University to determine if an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Advanced Polymer and Composite Engineering was feasible and viable. As a result of the planning award, Ohio State University has raised $296,000 in membership funds and approximately another $300,000 in "in-kind" support for an Industry/University Research Center for Advanced Polymer and Composition Engineering. The research agenda for the Center will address projects in Advanced Plastics Processing, Thermostat Polymers and Composite Manufacturing, Joining of Plastic Parts via Integral Attachments and Design and Die/Mold Manufacturing. The award is being cost shared by Dr. J. Lee, Program Director, Materials Processing and Manufacturing Program.
