I/UCRC for Membrane Science, Engineering and Technology (MSET) Center 1034710 New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT); Sirkar 1034720 University of Colorado at Boulder (UC-B); Greenberg The Center for Membrane Science, Engineering and Technology Composites will focus on membrane research, innovation, and educational capabilities that far exceed those of either university working alone. This synergistic combination of skills and expertise provides a a compelling rationale for a new partnership between NJIT (lead institution) and UC-B as the research partnerThe proposed research plan addresses novel membrane materials (for wider applications, desalination of water), control of pore size distributions to improve selectivity and performance, protein fouling on membranes, particle classification (ie, fractionation), enhancement of shear forces to reduce membrane fouling, and others. Membranes are to separations as catalysts are to chemical reactions. The membranes make separations easier and more economical (in some cases, possible). The collaborators, UC-Boulder and NJIT, have historically produced quality research in separations and membrane technology. The two universities have sufficient resources, infrastructure, and well-qualified investigators. The proposed research projects are innovative, but more important, the projects have potential to evolve and develop significant technologies. The leadership team has substantial experience in running centers. The most significant impact of this center on society may be the stimulation that will result between research, education, and industry. The research proposed by the center has potential to impact major societal issues including energy and fresh water supplies. While it is obvious that university-based teaching/training in research environments is the first priority of the proposed Center activities and goals, the key ingredient to their strong program is that the training is gained through advancement research in the rapidly-evolving cross-disciplinary regime of membrane science, separation processes and engineering design. The PIs plan for a very broad and yet still appropriately targeted dissemination through a variety of mechanisms including the usual publications as well as webinars, review meetings, direct connections to companies and industry communities.

I/UCRC 膜科学、工程和技术 (MSET) 中心 1034710 新泽西理工学院 (NJIT)； Sirkar 1034720 科罗拉多大学博尔德分校 (UC-B)；格林伯格膜科学、工程和技术复合材料中心将专注于膜研究、创新和教育能力，远远超过任何一所大学单独开展的工作。这种技能和专业知识的协同组合为 NJIT（牵头机构）和 UC-B 作为研究伙伴之间的新伙伴关系提供了令人信服的理由。拟议的研究计划涉及新型膜材料（用于更广泛的应用、海水淡化）、孔径控制分布以提高选择性和性能、膜上的蛋白质污染、颗粒分类（即分级）、增强剪切力以减少膜污染等。膜对于分离就像催化剂对于化学反应一样。膜使分离更容易、更经济（在某些情况下是可能的）。合作者加州大学博尔德分校和新泽西理工学院历来在分离和膜技术方面进行了高质量的研究。两所大学拥有充足的资源、基础设施和高素质的研究人员。拟议的研究项目具有创新性，但更重要的是，这些项目有潜力发展和开发重要技术。领导团队拥有丰富的中心运营经验。该中心对社会最重要的影响可能是对研究、教育和工业之间的刺激。该中心提出的研究有可能影响能源和淡水供应等重大社会问题。虽然很明显，在研究环境中以大学为基础的教学/培训是拟议中心活动和目标的首要任务，但其强大计划的关键要素是，培训是通过快速发展的跨学科领域的先进研究获得的。膜科学、分离过程和工程设计体系。 PI 计划通过各种机制进行非常广泛但仍然具有适当针对性的传播，包括通常的出版物以及网络研讨会、审查会议、与公司和行业社区的直接联系。
