Acquisition of Enhanced Instrumentation for Testing and Characterization of Polymeric Systems

该项目涉及获得用于聚合物系统实验研究的增强仪器，包括体聚合物、聚合物基质复合材料、薄膜、泡沫、凝胶和糊状物。由TA instruments， Inc.制造的三套配套仪器包括：动态机械分析仪DMA 2980流变仪AR 1000n介电分析仪DEA 2970。这些仪器在广泛的负载和温度条件下的高精度测量方面提供了无与伦比的实验能力。这些仪器将加强蒙大拿州立大学在先进材料领域正在进行的基础研究。将这种仪器整合到课程中，将提高学生的学习能力，并为研究生和本科生的研究提供令人兴奋的机会。此外，该仪器将成为蒙大拿州立大学、其他大学、政府实验室和私营部门之间跨学科合作研究计划的催化剂

0072423VinogradovThe project concerns acquisition of enhanced instrumentation for experimental studies of polymeric systems, including bulk polymers, polymer matrix composites, thin films, foams, gels, and pastes. The set of three complementary instruments, manufactured by the TA Instruments, Inc., comprises: Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer DMA 2980Rheometer AR 1000NDielectric Analyzer DEA 2970.These instruments provide unparalleled experimental capabilities in terms of high precision measurements over a broad range of loading and temperature conditions. The instruments will enhance the ongoing fundamental research at Montana State University in the area of advanced materials. Integration of this instrumentation into course curricula will enhance student learning and will provide exciting opportunities for graduate and undergraduate research. In addition, this instrumentation will serve as a catalyst for interdisciplinary collaborative research initiatives between Montana State University, other universities, government laboratories and private sector.***
