The Regents of the University of Colorado was awarded a $400,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Materials Research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will fund research towards subcritical phase transitions in liquid crystalline elastomers from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024. The Mathematical and Physical Sciences program aims to promote progress in the mathematical and physical sciences to strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise and increase scientific knowledge on major problems confronting the Nation. This award will support the University of Colorado's work in advancing understanding of phase behavior in liquid crystalline polymer networks, with the goal of developing materials with novel responsive properties.
