US-India Cooperative Research: H2 Solubility as a Probe for Pd/Oxide Composites Prepared by Internal Oxidation of Pd Alloys

9905929弗拉纳根描述：该奖项支持材料科学研究，题为《美国-印度合作研究：氢的溶解度作为Pd/氧化物复合材料的由钯合金内部氧化制备的探针》。合作者是佛蒙特州大学化学系的Ted B.Flanagan和坎普尔印度理工学院材料和冶金工程系的R.Balasubramaniam。这项研究的目的是了解材料的微观结构与其性质(如氢的溶解度)之间的关系。该项目将结合美国PI在物理化学方面的专业知识和印度PI在物理冶金方面的专业知识来探索两者之间的关系，以了解以氢溶解度为探针的复合材料的特性，并将这些特性与微观结构联系起来。范围：在过去成功合作出版了三份联合出版物的基础上，人们完全期望这些研究人员将继续卓有成效地工作。Flanagan和他的学生将在美国进行热力学研究，Balasubramaniam和他的学生将在坎普尔的高级材料科学中心进行微观结构表征研究。这一合作将使两所教育机构受益，并为PIS学生提供一个获得独特研究视角的机会。这种联合努力在技术上得到了很好的平衡，应该会带来互惠互利。

9905929Flanagan Description: This award supports the material sciences research entitled "US-India Cooperative Research: H2 Solubility as a Probe for Pd/Oxide Composites Prepared by Internal Oxidation of Pd Alloys." The collaborators are Ted B. Flanagan, Department of Chemistry, University of Vermont and R. Balasubramaniam, Department of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. The goal of the research is to understand the relationship between the microstructure of materials and their properties such as H2 solubilities. This project will explore the relationship by combining the expertise of the US PI in physical chemistry with that of the Indian PI in physical metallurgy in order to understand the characteristics of composite materials using H solubility as a probe and relating these to the microstructure. Scope: Based on past successful collaboration that has produced three joint publications, there is every expectation that these researchers will continue to work fruitfully. Flanagan with his students will carry out thermodynamic studies in the US and Balasubramaniam with his students will perform the microstructural characterization studies at the Advanced Centre for Materials Science at Kanpur. This collaboration will benefit both educational institutions and provide an opportunity for the PIs students to gain a unique research perspective. This joint effort is well balanced technically and should result in mutual benefits.
