This research tools and instruments application is for a double-length inert-atmosphere glovebox which is essential to perform the PI's NSERC-funded research in inorganic and polymer chemistry. This equipment, which is standard in many synthetic laboratories, is used to store and manipulate highly air/moisture-sensitive chemicals. Acquisition of the requested equipment will facilitate the synthesis and study of unusual phosphorus containing molecules, polymers and catalysts. The polymers developed using this equipment are of interest as sensor materials, flame retardants, catalyst supports, asymmetric catalysts. This equipment will also facilitate the synthesis of new cationic initiator systems for the preparation of butyl rubber in collaboration with Canadian Industry.***The current facilities in the PI's lab are inadequate and do not provide enough space for the 13 researchers working on this chemistry. Our existing “workhorse” glovebox, purchased in 1999, is repeatedly breaking down and is in dire need of replacement. Moreover, this “workhorse” single-station glovebox cannot handle the demands of 13 researchers who use it on a daily basis. This new state-of-the-art glovebox will be equipped with a temperature controlling unit and a freezer that will facilitating the handling of thermally sensitive and pyrophoric materials. Additionally, a cold well will allow for low-temperature reactions. ***Every HQP trainee in the areas of inorganic/organometallic synthesis and polymer synthesis should be capable of operating and using an inert atmosphere glovebox. This is a basic piece of equipment found in all research laboratories in these fields. Therefore, the skills obtained using this equipment will be transferable to the future careers of HQP whether in government, industry or academia whether in Canada or elsewhere.***In closing, we urgently need a new double-station glovebox to avoid severe delays in our research activities. *****

该研究工具和仪器应用适用于双长度惰性气氛手套箱，该手套箱对于执行 PI 的 NSERC 资助的无机和聚合物化学研究至关重要。该设备是许多合成实验室的标准设备，用于存储和操作。购买所需的设备将有助于合成和研究不寻常的含磷分子、聚合物和催化剂，使用该设备开发的聚合物可作为传感器材料、火焰。该设备还将与加拿大工业界合作，促进用于制备丁基橡胶的新型阳离子引发剂系统的合成。*** PI 实验室现有设施不足，无法提供足够的空间。我们现有的 1999 年购买的“主力”手套箱经常出现故障，急需更换，而且这个“主力”单工位手套箱无法满足需求。每天使用它的 13 名研究人员将配备一个温度控制装置和一个冷冻机，以方便处理热敏和自燃材料。此外，还有一个冷井。 ***无机/有机金属合成和聚合物合成领域的每位 HQP 学员都应能够操作和使用惰性气氛手套箱。这是所有研究实验室的基本设备。因此，使用该设备获得的技能将可以转移到 HQP 未来的职业生涯中，无论是在加拿大还是其他地方的政府、工业界或学术界。***最后，我们迫切需要一个新的双工位手套箱来避免我们的研究活动严重延误 *****
