This NSF award to University of Massachusetts Amherst funds U.S. researchers participating in a project competitively selected by the G8 Research Councils Initiative ?Structural Bamboo Products.? This is a pilot collaboration among the U.S. National Science Foundation, the Canadian National Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the French Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR), the German Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR),and the United Kingdom Research Councils (RCUK), supporting collaborative research projects selected on a competitive basis that are comprised of researchers from at least three of the partner countries. This multi-national collaboration--Methods for Materials-efficient Manufacturing (M3)-- will perform research on polymer-nanoparticle hybrid materials for sustainable production of advanced technology devices. The M3 team includes the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Rutgers University (U.S.), Tohoku University and the University of Tokyo (Japan), and Institut de Chimie de la Matière condensée de Bordeaux and the UMR CNRS Environnement, Ville, Société (France). The M3 research program focuses on solution-based processing of devices, device layers, components and functional materials on a roll-to-roll production platform, in which hybrid materials containing both polymers and nanoparticles are used to generate functional devices on flexible substrates. One technical goal for the project is development of solution-coatable high dielectric constant device layers comprised of polymer/nanoparticle composites; these layers are the active components of working devices, and progress in this field will advance efficient roll-to-roll flexible device production. A second technical goal is the use of polymer/nanoparticle solutions to form highly transparent emissive nanocomposite films containing optically active nanoparticles, including rare-earth dopes phosphors, as the functional component. U.S. research activities focus on developing the polymer hybrid materials and roll-to-roll processing methods (UMass Amherst), and synthesizing and characterizing the optically active composites (Rutgers). The outcomes from this multinational research project will lead to more materials-efficient and sustainable manufacturing of materials and devices for applications such as energy conversion and storage, flexible electronics and displays, and optoelectronics. Compared to conventional batch vacuum and deposition processes, the solution-based roll-to-roll process can afford lower cost, less waste and significantly lower energy inputs. When combined with innovations in the materials used in the coating process for device fabrication, it is expected that the resultant process will involve fewer steps, no batch changes, commodity-priced materials, lower process temperatures, and drastically lower water usage, thereby reducing direct energy consumption.

这项授予马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特大学的NSF奖项由参加G8研究委员会倡议竞争性选择的项目？结构性竹制产品的项目。 This is a pilot collaboration among the U.S. National Science Foundation, the Canadian National Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the French Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR), the German Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR), and the United Kingdom Research Councils (RCUK), supporting从至少三个合作伙伴国家的研究人员中包括的竞争基础选择的合作研究项目。这种跨国合作 - 用于材料效率生产的方法（M3）将对聚合物 - 纳米粒子混合材料进行研究，以可持续生产先进的技术设备。 M3团队包括马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特大学和罗格斯大学（美国），东北大学和东京大学（日本）以及法国维尔维尔市的UMR CNRS环境（法国）。 M3研究计划的重点是基于解决方案的设备，设备层，组件和功能材料在卷到滚动生产平台上的处理，其中混合材料包含聚合物和纳米粒子用于在柔性基板上生成功能设备。该项目的一个技术目标是开发由聚合物/纳米颗粒组件组成的可覆盖高固定恒定设备层。这些层是工作设备的活跃组件，并且该领域的进度将提高有效的滚动弹性灵活设备的生产。第二个技术目标是使用聚合物/纳米颗粒溶液形成含有光学活性纳米颗粒的高度透明的发射纳米复合膜，包括稀土掺杂剂磷光器作为功能成分。美国的研究活动着重于开发聚合物混合材料和滚动处理方法（UMass Amherst），以及合成和表征光学活性成分（Rutgers）。这个跨国研究项目的结果将导致对材料和设备的材料和可持续性制造，例如能源转换和存储，灵活的电子和显示器以及光电来源。与常规的批处理真空和沉积过程相比，基于解决方案的滚动过程可以带来较低的成本，减少浪费和明显较低的能源输入。当与用于设备制造的涂料过程中使用的材料中的创新结合使用时，预计所得过程将涉及更少的步骤，没有批处理变化，商品价格较低的材料，较低的工艺温度和大幅度降低水的使用，从而减少了直接的能源消耗。
