Coatings are often characterized/classified by their application or functionality, and the economic impact of coating technologies is staggering and estimated to be in the trillions. Therefore, even incremental improvements in coating properties have an impact, and revolutionary improvements in the coatings could lead to quantum leaps in the technologies that rely on these coatings. In this context, atomically thin layers, commonly known as ?two dimensional materials?, exhibiting highly tunable properties, can be engineered to solve fundamental scientific and technological challenges in the coating arena. This Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) is devoted to the design and development of advanced coatings based on two-dimensional (2D) and layered materials (Center for Atomically Thin Multifunctional Coatings -ATOMIC). Key to the center is a diverse set of industrial partners (glass, polymer, coating manufacturers, electronics and automobile companies, equipment/tools manufacturers, national labs, and small businesses). ATOMIC is a unique synergistic effort that exploits the unprecedented properties of 2D nanomaterials and establishes the foundations to revolutionize multifunctional coatings. The center activities are student-centric, focused on carrying out transformational and applied research, developing intellectual property, providing student mentorship, internships, and undertaking technology transfer.ATOMIC synergistically integrates world-leading faculty, researchers, students and staff from The Pennsylvania State University and Rice University with industry and national laboratories. ATOMIC advances coating science and technology in key strategic areas including: corrosion, oxidation and abrasion resistance, friction and wear, energy storage/harvesting, large-scale synthesis and deposition of multifunctional coatings, and others. The ATOMIC goals are: 1) Demonstrate the importance of fundamental and pre-competitive research for economic growth; 2) Establish an innovative scientific and technological platform to develop novel coatings based on 2D systems; 2) Develop fundamental process/property relationships in 2D materials driven by industry needs; 3) Standardizing measurement, characterization, and modeling techniques for benchmarking coating performances; 4) Build and maintain strong relationships with industry to advance ATOMIC research and to facilitate knowledge transfer to ATOMIC members; 5) Educate undergraduate and graduate students, and postdoctoral scholars, who will become effective members of the research community in this interdisciplinary area, and 6) Broaden participation in STEM through a strong outreach program aimed at all levels of education, ethnicities and minorities.

涂料通常以其应用或功能的特征/分类，并且涂料技术的经济影响令人震惊，并且估计是数万亿美元。因此，即使是涂料特性的增量改进也会产生影响，涂层的革命改进也可能导致依赖这些涂料的技术的量子飞跃。在这种情况下，可以设计出高度可调的特性的原子薄层，通常称为“二维材料？这个行业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC）致力于基于二维（2D）和分层材料（原子较薄的多功能涂层中心 - 原子质）的高级涂料的设计和开发。该中心的关键是各种各样的工业合作伙伴（玻璃，聚合物，涂料制造商，电子和汽车公司，设备/工具制造商，国家实验室和小型企业）。 Atomic是一种独特的协同努力，可利用2D纳米材料的前所未有的特性，并确定了彻底改变多功能涂料的基础。该中心的活动以学生为中心，致力于进行变革和应用研究，发展知识产权，提供学生指导，实习和进行技术转移。原子质协同结合了宾夕法尼亚州州立大学和赖斯大学的宾夕法尼亚州州立大学和赖斯大学的研究人员，研究人员，研究人员，研究人员，学生和员工。原子能进步在关键战略领域的涂料科学和技术，包括：腐蚀，氧化和耐磨性，摩擦和磨损，能源储能/收获，大规模合成以及多功能涂料的沉积等等。原子目标是：1）证明基本和竞争性研究对经济增长的重要性； 2）建立一个创新的科学和技术平台，以基于2D系统开发新颖的涂料； 2）在由行业需求驱动的2D材料中发展基本过程/财产关系； 3）标准化测量，表征和建模技术，用于测试涂料性能； 4）与工业建立和维持牢固的关系，以推进原子研究并促进知识转移到原子成员； 5）教育本科生和研究生，以及博士后学者，他们将成为该跨学科领域研究社区的有效成员，而6）通过针对各个级别的教育，族裔和少数群体的强大外展计划扩大参与STEM的参与。
