Purdue University received a $531,967 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Division of Materials Research, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), with an award date of July 1, 2026 and completion date of June 30, 2029. The project focuses on fundamental research into the interfacial mechanics of water-spread polymer micelles, specifically investigating how nanoscale polymer particle structure—including shape, corona architecture, and core dimensions—influences behavior at air-water interfaces. The research aims to develop synthetic polymer-based materials capable of replacing failing lung surfactant in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients, where existing lipid-based therapies prove ineffective due to disruption by proteins and enzymes in injured lungs. The deliverables include scientific discoveries regarding polymer particle interfacial behavior and design principles for improved synthetic surfactant materials applicable to ARDS treatment. Beyond the primary therapeutic application, the project generates products and services supporting workforce development and scientific education. The award funds graduate and undergraduate student training in interdisciplinary research spanning polymer science, engineering, and medicine, along with knowledge advancement in materials science and interfacial phenomena. Additionally, the grant supports K-12 outreach and community engagement activities designed to promote broader interest in science and engineering fields, integrating fundamental discovery with societal health benefits and alignment with national priorities in health innovation and scientific leadership.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
