US-France Cooperative Research: Superhard Nanostructured Films

这个为期三年的美法合作研究奖项由Steven S.Girschick和他在明尼苏达大学的研究生、奥尔良大学的Laifa Boufendi和Ecole Plytech的Pere Roca I Cabarrocas获得。他们的研究目标是分享与以下相关的专业知识和设备：等离子合成纳米颗粒、纳米颗粒沉积以制备薄膜以及沉积后薄膜处理。该项目利用了法国在等离子体和材料科学中的聚集和粒子形成方面的专业知识。它将促进对等离子材料合成及其在工具和其他工业过程中的低摩擦和高耐磨涂层应用的理解。在这一合作研究项目的背景下。NSF将为这位美国调查员及其研究生每年访问法国提供支持。

0240385GirschickThis three-year award for US-France cooperative research involves Steven S. Girschick and his graduates students at the University of Minnesota, Laifa Boufendi of the University of Orleans, and Pere Roca i Cabarrocas at the Ecole Plytechnique. The objectives of their research are to share expertise and facilities that relate to: plasma synthesis of nanoparticles, nanoparticle deposition to make films, and post deposition film processing. The project takes advantage of French expertise in clustering and particle formation in plasmas and materials science. It will advance understanding of plasma material synthesis and resulting applications to low friction and high wear resistance coatings for tools and in other industrial processes. In the context of this cooperative research project. NSF will provide support for annual visits to France by the US investigator and his graduate students.
