Requested is a state-of-the-art dynamic and static light-scattering goniometer for studying soft condensed matter, particularly polymer solutions, colloidal dispersions, nano-emulsions, and hydrogels. The instrument detects the light scattered from these materials, furnishing fundamental quantitative measures of their nano-scale dynamics and structure. These data will be used to (i) test synthetic protocols, providing the size of macromolecules and nanostructures in solution; (ii) assess material performance and function, including the degree to which nanoparticle dynamics couple to polymeric networks; and (iii) interpret novel diagnostic testing platforms for nanomaterials research, including the application of electroacoustic spectroscopy and dielectric spectroscopy for hydrogel nanocomposites and nanoemulsions. The instrument will be the first of its kind in Canada, supporting a research program that is developing hydrogel-nanocomposites for Canada's advanced-materials sector, and seeking fundamental knowledge to enhance health, environmental, and energy applications of nanotechnology. Training of highly-qualified-personnel will bring expertise in nanoscience and state-of-the-art light-scattering technology to Canada's industrial and academic research laboratories. Fundamental knowledge on the dynamics of nanoparticles in hydrogels will provide scientific guidance for industrial and governmental regulatory bodies on nanoparticle release and toxicity.**

请求的是一种最新的动态和静态的光散射性，用于研究软凝结物质，尤其是聚合物溶液，胶体分散液，纳米乳液和水凝胶。该仪器检测到这些材料散射的光，提供了其纳米级动力学和结构的基本定量测量。这些数据将用于（i）测试合成方案，提供溶液中的大分子和纳米结构的大小； （ii）评估材料性能和功能，包括纳米颗粒动力学对聚合物网络的程度； （iii）解释用于纳米材料研究的新型诊断测试平台，包括应用电声光谱和介电光谱的应用水凝胶纳米复合材料和纳米乳液。该工具将是加拿大的第一个此类工具，支持一项研究计划，该计划正在为加拿大高级物质领域开发水凝胶纳米复合材料，并寻求基本知识来增强纳米技术的健康，环境和能源应用。对高度合格的人数进行培训将为加拿大的工业和学术研究实验室带来纳米科学和最先进的光散射技术的专业知识。关于水凝胶中纳米颗粒动态的基本知识将为纳米颗粒释放和毒性提供有关工业和政府监管机构的科学指导。**
