BioPACIFIC MIP High-Throughput Characterization Facility | Soft Materials and Rheology

Описание: The High-Throughput Characterization Facility hosts and supports instrumentation for the structural, rheological, and mechanical characterization of materials, with a focus on high-throughput characterization. The available instrumentation includes an optical microscope with customized hardware and software, designed to serve as a first-in-class high-throughput automated microrheology tool for fluids and soft solids. Additionally, the facility is equipped with a high-throughput microindenter, which complements the microrheology tool by allowing for testing of materials much stiffer than possible with the microrheology tool alone.

The NSF BioPACIFIC MIP operates a one of a kind user facility dedicated to creating a nexus for synthetic biology and materials to revolutionize high-performance polymers. Users are uniquely able to elucidate biomaterial structure and function to achieve materials-by-design, construct new bio-derived functional monomers from living organisms, access novel sequence-specific materials (e.g. peptoids), synthesize stimuli-responsive “smart” biomaterials, scale-up biomaterial production, and
incorporate state-of-the-art theoretic simulation and machine learning algorithms.
