POWRE: Interfacial Analysis of the Deposition and Removal of Organic Films from Solid Surfaces

摘要建议编号：CTS-9805938首席研究员：C.授予POWRE奖。该项目涉及对固体表面有机污染物的沉积和去除的研究。将对表面污垢和膨胀的速度和程度以及残渣的物理和化学性质的变化进行非侵入性和连续的测量。将进行两种类型的测量：溶剂去除的物质的量；基材上剩余的平均物质的量。这些测量将使在分子水平上深入评估薄膜的性质成为可能，并将增加对界面现象的基本理解。这一POWRE奖将使PI能够开创一个新的研究领域，并将这一研究用于开发环境工程和污染预防方面的教育材料。

ABSTRACT Proposal Number: CTS-9805938 Principal Investigator: C. Grant A POWRE award. The project involves a study of the deposition and removal of organic contaminants from solid surfaces. Non-invasive and continuous measurements of the rate and extent of surface fouling and swelling and changes in the physical and chemical properties of the residues will be made. Two types of measurements will be made: the quantity of material removed by the solvent; the average amount of material remaining on the substrate. These measurements will enable an in depth evaluation of the film properties at the molecular level and will increase the basic understanding of interfacial phenomena. This POWRE award will enable the PI to initiate a new area of research and to use this research in developing educational materials in environmental engineering and pollution prevention.
