... They also have received several noteworthy awards, including the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, American Chemical Society fellow, and NIMS young scientist awards. The division's programs are highly leveraged with cooperative research and development agreements, or CRADAs (e.g., the Electronics Materials CRADA with Intel Corporation)

... Hiring a knowledgeable senior computational scientist or NRC postdoctoral fellows with theoretical expertise may be an effective way to initiate an effort in this direction. ACHIEVEMENT OF OBJECTIVES AND IMPACT Electronic Materials Group The Electronic Materials Group has done an outstanding job of developing measurement methods for the use of polymeric materials for the electronics industry.

... The project on dental materials has been well refocused and reorganized to be of high impact by concentrating on improving the understanding of the fundamentals of composite shrinkage, stress development, tooth and composite interphase, and interphase stability under bacterial challenge in order to develop clinically relevant information related to shrinkage and microleakage. There is an opportunity for this group to find a pathway for biomarker materials to become available to U.S.
