US-France Cooperative Research: Electrochemical Preparation of Nanowires and Mesowires for Chemical Sensing.

这个为期三年的美法化学合作奖支持一名美国研究生每年访问法国。该项目由加州大学欧文分校的雷金纳德·M·彭纳和蒙彼利埃大学的弗雷德里克·法维尔领导。研究的目标是：(1)由两种金属组成的纳米线的合成；(2)开发将受体分子连接到金属纳米线表面的方法；以及(3)评估纳米线作为化学传感器的作用。该项目利用了法国研究人员开发的一种合成金属纳米线的方法。这位美国研究人员带来了电化学方法和电沉积纳米线和中尺度粒子方面的合作专业知识。这位美国研究生将从法国实验室开发的合成程序培训中受益。该奖项代表了美国方面向NSF和CNRS提出的平行建议。NSF将为这位美国研究生支付旅费和生活费。CNRS将支持法国研究人员访问美国。

0233371PennerThis three-year award for US-France collaboration in chemistry supports annual visits by a US graduate student to France. The project is led by Reginald M. Penner of the University of California at Irvine and Frederic Favier of the University of Montpellier 2. The objectives of the research are: (1) the synthesis of nanowires composed of two metals; (2) the development of methods for attaching receptor molecules to the surface of metal nanowires; and (3) the evaluation of nanowires as chemical sensors. The project takes advantage of a method, developed by the French investigator, for synthesizing metal nanowires. The US investigator brings to the collaboration expertise in electrochemical methods and electrodeposition of nanowires and mesoscale particles. The US graduate student will benefit from training in synthetic procedures developed in the French laboratory.This award represents the US side of parallel proposals to the NSF and the CNRS. NSF will cover travel funds and living expenses for the US graduate student. The CNRS will support visits by French researcher to the United States.
