Development of a Nanomaterials Initiative at the University of South Carolina

与州长的科学和技术委员会的建议一致，化学和生物化学系在南卡罗来纳大学（USC）已经确定纳米材料作为一个重点领域，为未来的研究在该州。为了实现这一目标，EPSCoR项目具有直接和长期的组成部分，以确保南加州大学在未来两年内在纳米材料方面发展出具有全国竞争力的可持续研究成果。这些包括：(1)开发利用DNA作为模板、支架或启动子的新方法，用于精确定义的合成有机/DNA或有机金属/DNA混合结构；(2)在现代光刻技术无法实现的尺寸范围内精确定位纳米材料结构和网络中的合成成分；(3)为拟议的全校纳米材料计划聘请一名国际认可的主任。

EPS-9871933 Tour In concert with the Governor's Science and Technology Board's recommendation, the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of South Carolina (USC) has identified nanomaterials as a thrust area for future research in the state. In light of that goal, the EPSCoR project has immediate and long-range components to assure that USC will develop a sustainable nationally competitive research effort in nanomaterials over the next two years. These include: (1) developing novel methods that utilize DNA as a template, scaffold, or promoter for precisely-defined synthetic- organic/DNA or organometallic/DNA hybrid architectures; (2) precise positioning of synthetic components in nanomaterials structures and networks at a size range that is unattainable by modern lithographic methods; and (3) hiring of an internationally recognized Director for a proposed campus-wide Nanomaterials Initiative.
