This action funds Kevin P. Klubek of the University of Rochester to conduct a research project in Engineering during the summer of 2013 at the Institute of Functional Nano & Soft Materials (FUNSOM), Soochow University in Suzhou, Jiangsu, China. The project title is "Blue Emitters for Organic Light-Emitting Diodes." The host scientist is Professor Liang-Sheng Liao.Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are a new technology being developed for display (replacing liquid crystal and plasma technologies) and solid state lighting applications (replacing incandescent and fluorescent lighting). OLEDs contain several layers of organic (carbon based materials) thin films sandwiched between two electrodes. When a battery is connected to the electrodes, a current passes into the organic materials and one of the layers emits light. Depending on molecular structure, the organic materials can emit red, green or blue light, and all three colors are needed for most applications. While OLEDs have an ability to achieve high brightness with low power consumption, blue emitting OLEDs have a significantly shorter lifetime (time for the initial brightness to decrease by 50%) than red or green emitting OLEDs. The research shown in this work compares various blue emitting materials in an effort to understand how molecular structure impacts device performance, notably that of device lifetime. 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. Furthermore, the research effort between Soochow University and the University of Rochester (UR) will lay the foundation for forging a strong ongoing relationship as these universities have many shared interests that extend beyond the OLED field. One of the key goals is to widely distribute the scientific and technological understanding that is achieved by publishing in peer reviewed journals and presenting at conferences. Furthermore, the Fellow will give a presentation outlining his research to the host university and a comparable presentation on the collaboration with the Tang lab and his stay in China on return to his home institution. Both presentations will promote the importance and benefits of the NSF EAPSI fellowship.

该行动资助罗彻斯特大学的 Kevin P. Klubek 于 2013 年夏季在中国江苏苏州苏州大学功能纳米与软材料研究所 (FUNSOM) 开展工程研究项目。 该项目的标题是“有机发光二极管的蓝色发射器”。主持科学家是廖良胜教授。 有机发光二极管（OLED）是一项正在开发的新技术，用于显示（取代液晶和等离子技术）和固态照明应用（取代白炽灯和荧光灯）。 OLED 包含夹在两个电极之间的多层有机（碳基材料）薄膜。 当电池连接到电极时，电流会进入有机材料，其中一层会发光。 根据分子结构，有机材料可以发出红光、绿光或蓝光，并且大多数应用都需要这三种颜色。 虽然 OLED 能够以低功耗实现高亮度，但蓝光 OLED 的寿命（初始亮度下降 50% 的时间）比红光或绿光 OLED 显着缩短。 这项工作中展示的研究比较了各种蓝色发光材料，以了解分子结构如何影响器件性能，特别是器件寿命。 EAPSI 奖学金的更广泛影响包括为研究员提供美国以外的第一手研究经验；各自地点的科学、科学政策和科学基础设施的介绍；以及对社会、文化和语言的定位。 这些活动符合 NSF 的目标，即在科学家、工程师和教育工作者职业生涯的早期进行国际合作教育，从而确保美国科学劳动力具有全球意识。 此外，苏州大学和罗切斯特大学 (UR) 之间的研究工作将为建立牢固的持续关系奠定基础，因为这些大学拥有许多超越 OLED 领域的共同利益。 主要目标之一是广泛传播通过在同行评审期刊上发表文章和在会议上发言所获得的科学和技术理解。 此外，该研究员还将向主办大学介绍他的研究成果，并就与唐实验室的合作以及他返回母校后在中国的逗留进行类似的介绍。这两场演讲都将宣传 NSF EAPSI 奖学金的重要性和好处。
