Description
The MPM program supports fundamental, hypothesis-driven research on the interrelationship of materials processing, structure, properties, performance and process control. Analytical, experimental, and numerical studies are supported covering novel processing methods for any materials system (metals, polymers, ceramics, hybrids, composites, etc.). Studies should include the consideration of cost, performance and feasibility of scale-up, as appropriate. Studies that address multi-scale and/or multi-functional materials systems are encouraged as are studies that support environmentally-benign manufacturing. Collaborative proposals with industry (the GOALI program) are encouraged. Micro-scale (and larger) processes are covered by the MPM program; processing at the submicron or nano scale is likely covered by the Nanomanufacturing (NM) program. Solid freeform fabrication process proposals are considered in the Manufacturing Machines and Equipment (MME) program, as are material removal process proposals such as cutting or grinding. Proposals that primarily focus on fundamental material composition-structure-property studies (i.e. neither processing nor manufacturing plays a significant role in the proposed work) should be submitted to the Materials and Surface Engineering (MSE) program or to the appropriate program in the DMR division. Investigators wishing to serve on a proposal review panel should email the Program Director with a short biographical sketch, a list of areas of expertise and/or a link to their home page. REU/RET supplement requests should be submitted by March 31 each year.
