Description

The modification of the polymers properties by the addition of filler particles has been proven to be an extremely viable method to improve the physical properties of polymers. However, for conventional fillers a large amount of filler is needed which often introduces detrimental effects (i.e. brittleness). Recent technological advances in the synthesis of nanoparticles offer new exciting opportunities, since their much larger surface area (per unit of volume fraction) makes them much more effective at small volume fractions. How...

Grantor Contact InformationRiccardo Casalini, Phone: 202 404 8042Grantor Emailriccardo.casalini@nrl.navy.milOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
