U.S.-Brazil Planning Visit: Photophysical Studies in Polymers

9906013韦斯美国-巴西奖支持理查德G.韦斯和两名来自华盛顿乔治敦大学的学生， 与巴西坎皮纳斯州立大学的Teresa Atvars博士和里约热内卢联邦大学的伊拉布林教授会面，发展合作研究项目，涉及利用荧光技术探索聚合物特性，以及测定2-羟基苯基-Atvars教授是公认的聚合物物理过程专家，Brinn博士的实验室拥有最先进的闪光光解装置，可以很容易地进行修改，以研究聚合物薄膜中客人的瞬态物质。韦斯博士的亲自出席将使设备修改概念化，并使所有产次满意。 此外，在规划访问期间，PI和学生将利用乔治敦大学没有的设备进行一些初步实验，以消除由于缺乏直接观察而产生的模糊性。. 它将验证来自两个实验室的学生/博士后将使用相同的科学语言进行交流。***

9906013WeissThis U.S.-Brazil award supports a planning visit by Dr. Richard G. Weiss and two students of Georgetown University, Washington D.C., to meet with Dr. Teresa Atvars at the Universidada Estadual de Campinas and Professor Ira Brinn at Universidade Federal de Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to develop collaborative research projects concerning the exploration of polymer properties using fluorescence techniques and the determination of the types and rates of photoinduced intramolecular proton transfer in 2-hydroxyphenyl-lapazole.Professor Atvars is a recognized expert in physical processes in polymers and Dr. Brinn's laboratory posses a state-of-the-art flash photolysis apparatus that could be modified easily to investigate transient species from guests in polymer films. The in-person presence of Dr. Weiss will allow equipment modification to be conceptualized and carried out to the satisfaction of all parities. Additionally, during the planning visit the PI and students will utilize equipment not available at Georgetown to conduct some preliminary experiments in order to remove ambiguities that accompany a lack of direct observation. . It will verify that the students/post docs from the two labs will be communicating in the same scientific language. ***
