Micro-and-Nanostructured Multifunctional Polymer Material Systems

研究计划的性质：拟议研究计划的目标是加速先进多功能高分子材料系统（PMS）的设计和制造，以推进“绿色”经济。一个关键的技术挑战是定制PMS的微纳米结构。这些包括共混物中的相形态，复合材料中的填料排列和网络，以及泡沫中的细胞结构。鉴于此，该项目将通过利用聚合物共混物、泡沫和复合材料之间的协同作用，研究新的微纳米结构技术。

Nature of the Research Program: The goal of the proposed research program is to accelerate the design and fabrication of advanced multifunctional polymer material systems (PMS) that advance “green” economy. One key technological challenge is to tailor PMS’s micro-and-nanostructures. These include phase morphology in blends, filler alignment and networks in composites, and cellular structures in foams. In light of this, the program will research on new micro-and-nanostructuring techniques by utilizing synergy among polymer blends, foams, and composites.
