This action funds Christiana Chang of University of Houston to conduct a research project, entitled "Effects of temperature on electronic plastic sensors," during the summer of 2012 at Chiba University in Chiba, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. The host scientist is Professor Ning Hu.The Intellectual Merit of the research project is the development and experimental verification of accurate numerical models of carbon nanoparticle enhanced polymers, an emerging class of multifunction materials which can be used for sensing applications. This research contributes to basic understanding of the sensing mechanism working principles and in the design of such materials for the development of highly sensitive, robust, structurally integrated carbon based sensors.The Broader Impacts of an EAPSI fellowship include providing the Fellow a first-hand research experience outside the U.S.; an introduction to the science, science policy, and scientific infrastructure of the respective location; and an orientation to the society, culture and language. These activities meet the NSF goal to educate for international collaborations early in the career of its scientists, engineers, and educators, thus ensuring a globally aware U.S. scientific workforce.

这项行动为休斯顿大学的克里斯蒂安·张（Christiana Chang）提供了一项研究项目，题为“温度对电子塑料传感器的影响”，2012年夏天在日本千叶县千叶大学的千叶大学举行。 主持人科学家是Ning Hu教授。研究项目的智力优点是对碳纳米颗粒增强聚合物的精确数值模型的开发和实验验证，这是一种新兴的多功能材料，可用于感应应用。 这项研究有助于对感应机制工作原理的基本理解，并设计了这种材料的设计，以开发高度敏感，健壮，结构整合的基于碳的传感器。EAPSI奖学金的更广泛的影响包括提供美国以外的第一手研究经验。各自位置的科学，科学政策和科学基础设施的简介；以及社会，文化和语言的方向。 这些活动符合NSF的目标，以在其科学家，工程师和教育工作者的职业生涯的早期对国际合作进行教育，从而确保全球意识的美国科学劳动力。
