| The Multivariant Measurement Methods Group develops
cost-effective combinatorial and high-throughput methodologies
for polymer materials science, which enable scientists to rapidly
explore a wide range of material characteristics in parallel
and often on a miniaturized scale. These methodologies allow
one to learn more about polymeric materials and their structure,
properties and processing, data that can help manufacturers
accelerate the development of new materials for the U.S. polymer
industry. The group works closely to address issues of the Electronics
Materials and Biomaterials
Groups for their structure and properties characterization,
and co-ordinates the NIST
Combinatorial Methods Center, a multi-tier consortium which
directly serves the needs of industrial, academic, and government
customers. |
