PREM-Research Partnership
In collaboration with scientists at Cornell, some of these fundamental issues concerning the nanophased composites are being addressed. These issues include: the nature of interaction between organic host and inorganic guest, manipulation of processing conditions to improve the chemical bonding between the guest and the host, improvement in materials properties on a molecular scale, effect of nanoparticle infusion on the fracture behavior, and the resulting influence on the failure modes.

Educational Outreach Partnership
Tuskegee University's Center for Advanced Materials (T-CAM) has extensive expertise in educational and outreach activities. The Cornell Center for Materials Research (CCMR), which houses the MRSEC, also promotes cross-linked programs in the areas of research, human resources development and outreach, directing substantial time and efforts sharing their expertise and resources with a broad community. The two universities will collaborate on education and outreach programs.
