Analytical Equipment for Chemistry Research

This program sought to improve the scientific infrastructure of the Chemistry Dept. of the Brooklyn campus of Long Island University. All of the instrumentation has been used in research by both undergraduate and masters level students. During the grant period eight major pieces of research equipment were ordered, as well as several minor items. There is one publication under review and several more projects are nearing completion with data being analyzed for inclusion in publications and masters degree theses. The support met the aims of acquiring a broad range of research quality instrumentation for use in chemical research, with an emphasis on the establishment of a capability in the area of materials science.
