项目摘要

There is no doubt on the importance of natural carbonaceous materials to Canada's economy. Yet their deleterious impact on our environment is inevitable from production to utilization. While past studies have greatly enriched our knowledge of the behaviors and properties of fractionated natural carbonaceous materials, synergistic and collective functions of these materials remain mysterious due to lacking applicable/accessible tools. In addition, one equally important piece, which hasn't drawn enough attention, is to develop green applications of natural carbonaceous materials and their byproducts beyond combustion. Therefore, the long-term goals of this research program are to: 1) fundamentally understand the synergistic/collective behaviors and properties of natural carbonaceous materials under different physical, chemical, and thermal treatments, and further provide practical guidance for their industrial processing; 2) utilizing state-of-the-art additive manufacturing techniques, stimulate and commercialize the applications of non-synthetic heavy hydrocarbons in electronics; and 3) developing a unified theory to describe general behaviors of multicomponent systems, and extending its application to water and wastewater management. The outcome of this research program will be: a) fundamental research tools that can be tailored for investigating other complex systems; b) databases of structure-process-property relationship for natural carbonaceous materials and their byproducts; and c) a paradigm shift from traditional combustion of natural carbonaceous materials to novel, green applications in electronics.

毫无疑问，天然碳质材料对加拿大经济的重要性。然而，从生产到利用，它们对我们环境的有害影响是不可避免的。尽管过去的研究极大地丰富了我们对分离自然碳质材料的行为和特性的了解，但由于缺乏适用/可访问的工具，这些材料的协同和集体功能仍然神秘。此外，没有引起足够关注的同样重要的作品是开发天然碳质材料及其副产品的绿色应用。因此，该研究计划的长期目标是：1）从不同的物理，化学和热疗法下，从根本上了解天然碳质材料的协同/集体行为和特性，并进一步为其工业加工提供实际指导； 2）利用最先进的添加剂制造技术，刺激和商业化非合成重型碳氢化合物在电子中的应用； 3）开发一个统一的理论来描述多组分系统的一般行为，并将其应用于水和废水管理。该研究计划的结果将是：a）可以针对其他复杂系统量身定制的基本研究工具； b）天然碳质材料及其副产品的结构过程中的数据库； c）从天然碳质材料的传统燃烧转变为电子产品中的新型绿色应用。
