Pioneering Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s chemistry gets $24M boost to advance coatings that preserve metals from deteriorating
With support from the Government of Canada's New Frontiers in Research Fund, new research extending the lifespan of metals could save billions across the infrastructure, microchip, and health care industries.
Today, the federal government committed $24 million through the New Frontiers in Research Funding to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트-led research poised to extend the lifespan of metals using unique molecular coatings that could save billions of dollars on maintenance across a number of sectors, including aerospace, automotive, cancer therapy, consumer electronics and infrastructure. The work could position Canada at the forefront of the barrier coatings industry, which has a national economic impact of $31 billion per year, and currently employs 211,000 people across the country.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Worldwide, countries spend, on average, over three per cent of their GDP each year on corrosion maintenance,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Cathleen Crudden, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s professor, Canada Research Chair in Metal Organic Chemistry, and lead researcher on the project. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Annually, Canada spends around $66 billion across sectors. With new strategies, like the innovative coatings we are developing, we could save governments, taxpayers, and industries up to 25 per cent of this cost. We are very excited about the potential this work holds, and grateful for this significant support from the government카지노 게임 컬렉션s New Frontiers in Research Fund: Transformation Stream.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Together with her multidisciplinary team of international researchers and industry collaborators, Dr. Crudden is developing a fundamentally new approach for protecting metal surfaces. Building on her prior discovery that a certain class of organic molecules can form bonds with a wide range of metals, the group is exploring and developing a carbon-on-metal coating that could slow or halt corrosion and degradation caused by oxygen, changes in pH and temperature.
These coatings could prevent metals in microchips from breaking down, leading to greater longevity for computers, phones, and other devices. They could also guard against automobile rust, improve aerospace design, and even be used on a nanoscale, improving targeted chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and refining medical imaging. The technology카지노 게임 컬렉션s potential to improve cancer care is promising, as it could enable new advances to nanomedical precision cancer treatments that could impact the health and wellbeing of one-in-two Canadians who will develop the disease in their lifetimes.
Funding for the project will come from Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s New Frontiers in Research Fund: Transformation Stream, which supports high-risk, high-reward interdisciplinary research, and be distributed to teams over a six-year span. Dr. Crudden카지노 게임 컬렉션s team is one of only seven projects across Canada to be funded.
The project will also involve collaborators from around the world, including academic and industry partners in Canada, the US, UK, Japan, Finland, and more.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I want to congratulate Dr. Crudden and her team on being awarded this new funding, and thank the Government of Canada for supporting high-risk, high-reward research with the potential for wide-ranging impacts,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Nancy Ross, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Vice-Principal (Research). 카지노 게임 컬렉션Not only could this project boost Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s position in the global high-tech sector, but it will also enhance cross-disciplinary collaborations, support early career professionals, strengthen equity, diversity, and inclusion opportunities, and expand student learning in myriad ways.카지노 게임 컬렉션
