Understanding the Interplays of Mechanical and Chemical Interactions at the Molecular Interfaces of Multifunctional Bio-/Nano-Materials

Abstract

The major goal is to acquire a versatile Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) system to enhance cross campus multidisciplinary research activities and research-related education at California State University, Los Angeles (Cal State LA). The common theme of the enabled research projects seeks to fundamentally understand the physical and chemical interactions and properties at molecular surfaces or interfaces of novel bio-/nanomaterials and devices. The acquired AFM system will be a multi-user instrument across the campus and entail a multifaceted approach to student involvement with research. Students will be able to examine problems at the crossroads of materials science, physics, chemistry, engineering, and other related sciences. This acquisition will promote cross-campus collaboration and multidisciplinary research activities, and enhance student research training and education for our population of predominantly underrepresented minority undergraduate and graduate students in the Southern California region, in disciplines important to DoD ARO missions.
