Bridge funds for CCNY-Chicago MRSEC PREM

非技术摘要：这个奖项给纽约市立大学支持的研究，在材料研究和教育（PREM）计划的合作伙伴关系下完成，对汽-液和气-液系统，以及颗粒和胶体材料。与芝加哥大学的伙伴关系利用了每个机构的优势，以有益的方式结合了理论和实验工具。 除了进行研究外，这种伙伴关系还成功地将少数民族学生转移到STEM工作队伍中。 在这个奖项的资金将用于继续研究生助学金，并继续本科生和REU student support.Technical摘要：与异质材料，这是由多种力量控制的动力学，是知之甚少。困难在于，相互作用涉及一系列长度尺度，从凝聚过程中的单个分子到颗粒物质中的胶体模式。这种缺乏了解阻碍了许多应用的发展，如喷墨打印机和涂布系统。这里资助的工作结合了实验，理论和模拟工具，以帮助理解基本水平的控制力。

Non-technical Abstract:This award to CUNY City College supports research, done under the Partnerships for Research and Education in Materials (PREM) program, on vapor-liquid and gas-liquid systems, as well as granular and colloidal materials. The partnership with the University of Chicago leverages strengths of each institution, coupling theoretical and experimental tools in a useful way. In addition to producing research, this partnership has been successful at moving minority students into the STEM work force. Funds in this award will be used to continue graduate student stipends, and to continue undergraduate and REU student support.Technical Abstract:Dynamics associated with heterogeneous materials, which are controlled by multiple forces, is poorly understood. The difficulty is that interactions involve a range of length scales, from single molecules in condensation processes to colloidal patterns in granular materials. This lack of understanding hinders the development of many applications, such as inkjet printers and coating systems. The work funded here couples experimental, theoretical and simulation tools to help understand the controlling forces at a fundamental level.
