      National Science Foundation Creativity Award

Karen Winey’s pioneering work in ion-containing polymers has been recognized through her receipt of the National Science Foundation Creativity Award.  The award is aimed toward offering “the most creative investigators an extended opportunity to attack adventurous, 'high-risk' opportunities."  Dr. Winey will use the funds to investigate the behavior of ion-containing polymers at elevated temperatures, in high humidity environments and under applied electric fields using newly designed in situ experiments.  These systems have potential applications in low-temperature fuel cells and actuators.

 

       New Equipment Grant

We received a grant from the Army Research Office through the DURIP program to purchase accessories for the SEM, TEM, and STEM to study polymer suspensions, swollen polymers, and soft polymers at cryo temperatures.
