This grant provides support for the acquisition of a comprehensive high temperature and high purity glove box materials processing facility for education and research at Iowa State University. One of the most significant changes in the development of new materials is the sophistication in the processing of the materials. Modern materials are now being designed at the atomic level and precise control of the composition, structure, and impurities are allowing new materials to be fabricated with exceptional properties and performance. Several current projects critically depend upon the clean, dry, and oxygen-free environment afforded by a high quality glove box system. This new state-of-the-art glove box preparation system will dramatically improve the quality, purity, and structure of the materials. This project has significant intellectual merit in that the new glove box system will be used by ~ 8 different research groups across the Midwest on a wide variety of projects. This multi-purpose glove box will enable new fast ion conducting glasses to be prepared that have exceptional conductivities, new photonic band gap materials will be processed with never before possible structures, new transparent conducting oxides will be prepared with exceptionally purity, new ferroelectric materials will be processed at exceptional purity so that the details of the micro-failure can be examined, new ultraphosphate glasses will be prepared that will enable new insights into the frequency dependence of the ionic conductivity, and finally a new class of polymeric materials will be processed with unprecedented levels of functionality. This project has significant broader impact due to the high level of undergraduate and graduate student use of the glove box processing system. Nearly all students in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at ISU will use the glove box system and it will form a core research facility. Undergraduate research groups at nearby undergraduate institutions, Coe College and Creighton University, and as a Midwest Regional Facility by research groups at the University of Indiana and the University of Missouri-Rolla, will benefit, among others

这笔赠款为爱荷华州立大学购买综合性高温高纯度手套箱材料加工设施提供支持，用于教育和研究。 新材料开发中最显着的变化之一是材料加工的复杂性。现代材料现在正在原子水平上进行设计，并且对成分、结构和杂质的精确控制使得能够制造出具有卓越特性和性能的新材料。当前的几个项目严重依赖于高质量手套箱系统提供的清洁、干燥和无氧环境。这种最先进的新型手套箱制备系统将显着提高材料的质量、纯度和结构。该项目具有重要的智力价值，因为新的手套箱系统将被中西部约 8 个不同的研究小组用于各种项目。这种多功能手套箱将能够制备出具有优异电导率的新型快离子导电玻璃，将加工出具有前所未有的结构的新型光子带隙材料，将制备出具有极高纯度的新型透明导电氧化物，将制备出新型铁电材料。以极高的纯度进行加工，以便可以检查微故障的细节，将制备新的超磷酸盐玻璃，这将使人们对离子电导率的频率依赖性有新的认识，最后将加工一类新型聚合物材料前所未有的功能水平。由于本科生和研究生对手套箱处理系统的高水平使用，该项目具有更广泛的影响。 ISU 几乎所有材料科学与工程 (MSE) 专业的学生都将使用手套箱系统，它将形成一个核心研究设施。科伊学院和克赖顿大学等附近本科院校的本科研究小组，以及印第安纳大学和密苏里大学罗拉分校研究小组作为中西部地区设施的本科研究小组，都将从中受益。
