NEW NCMC Focus Project
High-Throughput Modulus Measurements of Hydrated Polymer Gels
The NIST Combinatorial Methods Center (NCMC) is pleased to announce a new focused project on the modulus of hydrated polymer gels. This project will adapt NCMC buckling-based techniques to the quantitative measurement of the modulus of soft, hydrated systems used in a variety of products, such as contact lenses. We are inviting NCMC member organizations and others to join this project. Focus Project members will help the NCMC set define instrument parameters, and help to develop and specify the model systems we will use to demonstrate of this exciting new technology. Research results will be available to focused project members throughout the project period and member organizations will be able to participate directly with NIST researchers in development of the new measurement tools.
