Advanced Imaging and Mechanical Characterization of Polymer Matrix Composite Interfaces

Due: May 1, 2025

$82,764

Description

Polymer matrix composites, which are materials consisting of soft or ductile polymers filled with high stiffness nanoparticles, nanofibers, or fibers, are of great interest to various engineering applications. These materials can enhance the matrix properties or impart new functionalities. This project aims to develop in-situ mechanical tests, coupled with mechano-responsive fluorophores, moisture-sensitive fluorophores, and advanced imaging methods such as super-resolution Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM) and Förster Resonan...

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.
