Grant Description

The DMR Polymers Program supports fundamental research and education on polymeric materials. The program portfolio is mainly experimental and highly diverse with components of materials science, chemistry, physics, and related disciplines. While interdisciplinarity is stressed, central goals include advancing the foundations of polymer science through innovative research and education and pushing back the wide horizon of the field. Polymers are studied from the molecular level through the nano-to-macro continuum using fundamental materials-focused scientific approaches. Broad areas addressed include synthesis, molecular assembly, characterization, phase behavior, structure, morphology, and properties. Particular focus is on transformative approaches to innovative materials with superior properties, as well as on fundamental understanding and optimization of structure-property relationships. Materials-focused proposals of high promise that integrate research, education, and other broader impacts are welcome.
