The research of the planned I/UCRC for Atomically Thin Multifunctional Coatings aims to focus on fundamental understanding of synthesis, integration, properties, processing and scale-up of novel 2D material systems of application importance. The proposed Industry-University partnership plans to build on a foundation of scientific innovation in 2D materials at Penn State and Rice University in such materials as graphene, MoS2, WS2, hBN, and WSxSe1-x. The planned research activities of the center are student-centric, and will include: performing transformational and applied research, developing intellectual property, low cost nano-manufacturing, doing internships at the industry, and undertaking technology transfer. The planned I/UCRC will closely coordinate joint activities to involve underrepresented students at all levels of education; for example, through the new Penn State - Millennium Scholars Program, supporting research summer stays at both universities. Undergraduate students will be provided opportunities to take part in ongoing interdisciplinary research in the center. In order to encourage young people to pursue science-technology research, the center will jointly conduct activities such as the Upward Bound Math and Science (UBMS) and leverage ongoing PSU/Rice MRSEC REU and RET programs. The center also intends to generate strategies to remediate current technology drawbacks and spur local and regional economic growth through Penn State's Innovation Park and The Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship.

针对原子薄的多功能涂层的计划I/UCRC的研究旨在集中于对新型2D应用重要性2D物质系统的合成，整合，属性，处理和扩展的基本理解。拟议的行业 - 大学合作伙伴关系计划以宾夕法尼亚州立大学和赖斯大学的2D材料的科学创新为基础，例如石墨烯，MOS2，WS2，HBN和WSXSE1-X。该中心计划的研究活动以学生为中心，包括：进行转型和应用研究，开发知识产权，低成本的纳米制造，在行业实习以及进行技术转移。计划中的I/UCRC将密切协调联合活动，以涉及各级教育的人数不足的学生；例如，通过新的宾夕法尼亚州立大学 - 千年学者计划，支持两所大学的研究夏季。本科生将有机会参加中心正在进行的跨学科研究。为了鼓励年轻人从事科学技术研究，该中心将共同开展诸如“上限数学和科学”（UBMS）之类的活动，并利用正在进行的PSU/RICE MRSEC REU和RET计划。该中心还打算通过宾夕法尼亚州立大学的创新公园和赖斯技术和企业家精神来解决当前技术缺陷的战略，并刺激当地和地区经济增长。
