Corporate partnership, doctoral program create new opportunities in materials science

[parent2noles]

<p>A neat new doctoral program at FSU:</p>

<p>

…FSU President Eric J. Barron and other top university administrators and researchers were on hand today at the university’s High-Performance Materials Institute to participate in the announcement of a major step in that partnership: the establishment of the Cytec Engineered Materials Doctoral Fellowship for Advanced Composite Studies. The company created the fellowship with a gift of more than $212,000 to FSU.</p>

<p>“We are excited about being chosen to partner with Cytec to help develop future scientists and thought leaders in the field of advanced materials science,” said Ben Wang, director of the High-Performance Materials Institute. “We are also looking forward to having Cytec scientists and engineers serve as mentors for our students to help them understand the commercial implications and advancements their work can potentially deliver.”</p>

<p>Composite materials have and will continue to revolutionize the way everything from automobiles to aircraft and consumer packaging are made. Using innovative technologies developed at Florida State, researchers at the High-Performance Materials Institute are now able to make materials that are stronger and lighter than traditional materials such as steel and have electrical properties that will enhance future applications.</p>
