Non-Technical AbstractThis award supports the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site in Advanced Materials at Rutgers Engineering. The objective of the NSF-REU activity is to provide unique opportunities for a diverse population of undergraduate students to conduct cutting-edge, cross-disciplinary research in the field of Advanced Materials. The program features high-quality interaction of students with faculty/mentor and access to professional development opportunities through research. The program has basic elements of research training and professional developments to enhance learning. Diverse groups of students, including underrepresented group of students, are recruited for this program, who might not otherwise have the opportunity. A large fraction of the student participants are recruited from academic institutions where research opportunities are limited, including two-year colleges. The impact of this program is to encourage undergraduates to continue their studies and develop their abilities as professionals, which can last for years to come.Technical AbstractThe technical goal is development of novel advanced materials of structural levels ranging from nano-scale to macro-scale, both theoretical and experimental. The advanced materials developed are anticancer nanomaterials, organic light emitting devices, hybrid materials, inorganic polymers, and advanced polymer/ceramic composites by using novel and creative approaches. It is highly desirable that students are exposed to advanced materials through the cutting-edge research. The research exploration learned in this REU Site, as opposed to learning from textbooks, is a long lasting and rewarding influence on participating students.

非技术摘要该奖项支持罗格斯大学工程学院先进材料本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站。 NSF-REU 活动的目标是为不同群体的本科生提供独特的机会，在先进材料领域进行前沿、跨学科的研究。该项目的特点是学生与教师/导师的高质量互动，并通过研究获得专业发展机会。该计划具有研究培训和专业发展的基本要素，以加强学习。该计划招募了不同的学生群体，包括代表性不足的学生群体，否则他们可能没有机会。很大一部分学生参与者是从研究机会有限的学术机构招募的，包括两年制学院。该计划的影响是鼓励本科生继续学习并发展他们作为专业人士的能力，这种能力可以持续多年。技术摘要技术目标是开发结构水平从纳米级到宏观级的新型先进材料，理论和实验。采用新颖和创造性的方法开发的先进材料包括抗癌纳米材料、有机发光器件、杂化材料、无机聚合物和先进聚合物/陶瓷复合材料。学生非常希望通过前沿研究接触先进材料。与从教科书中学习相比，在该 REU 网站中学到的研究探索对参与的学生具有持久且有益的影响。
