Collaborative Center in Polymer Photonics

Abstract

A Collaborative Center in Polymer Photonics (CCPP) that utilizes the collected research expertise of the AFRL Materials and Manufacturing Directorate and The University of Akron College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering in the development of polymers for photonic systems has been established. The Collaborative Center was formed so as to augment the Air Force Materials Laboratory in-house photonics research through team work with The University of Akron's polymer program (ranked second in the Nation by U.S. News and World Report). To this end, research teams made up of scientists from both institutions have been set up to pursue topics of mutual interest. This was made possible by funding by AFOSR ($900 k), AFRL ($900 k), and The University of Akron ($900 k). The Center has the capability to respond rapidly to new research directions as the needs of the Air Force change. It is also in a position to leverage resources from other sources such as the State of Ohio.
